The Dance of Death

XXII. - The Priest

THE PRIEST.

[86]

Sum quidem & ego mortalis homo.

Sap. vii.

Ie porte le sainct sacrement

Cuidant le mourant secourir,

Qui mortel suis pareillement.

Et comme luy me fault mourir.

The Priest carries the host to a sick person. But Death precedes him as his sacristan.

Death, that final curb on freedom, has itself suffered a death blow through the resurrection of Jesus. - Michael Green.
