Oh rest a bit, for `tis a rare place to rest at.

Latin is a language
As dead as dead can be.
It killed the ancient Romans
And now it's killing me.

Dead are all who wrote it;
Dead are all who spoke it;
Dead are all who learned it;
Blessed death! They earned it

Semper Ubi Sub Ubi
Always wear under wear!

Here we have a deliberate play on the word "where";
the word "wear" being substituted instead.
Can you guess who these are?
Fatuus
Medicullus
Severus
Beatus
Somniculosus
Verecundus
Sternuens

Name the film or TV series!

Age. Fac ut gaudeam.
Me transmitte sursum, Caledoni!
Postatem obscuri lateris nescitis.
Quis fuit ille personatus?
Pistrix! Pistrix!
