Second word sounds like "vult" which is similar to the word for vulture "vultur" and the word for appearance, "vultus."

Third word is almost definitely "de" which has a myriad of meanings based on context OR it's just the ending "e" of whatever the second word is.

Fourth word confused me a bit because of the "ch" sound, but some people pronounce the Latin 'c's as "ch." So it could very well be "cepi," the infinitive of capio, meaning "to seize, grasp, or capture."

Just found something really interesting on the "Memento mori" bit!

When translating Latin, it's imperative (no pun intended) to keep in mind how flexible the language can be. While "Memento mori" can be translated very literally, "remember death" or "remember the death," I did a quick google search and found this article. Turns out this is a semi-common Latin saying meaning, "Remember that you will die." Which is, according to wikipedia, "an artistic or symbolic reminder of the inevitability of death."

With the same logic in mind, "Mors praematura" could be translated as "You will die an early death" or maybe even "You will die soon."

Reading the translations gave me full on goosebumps.
