Emisit eum Dominvs Devs de Paradiso voluptatis, vt operaretur terram de qua sumptus est.

Genesis iii.

DIEV chassa l'homme de plaisir

Pour uiure au labeur de ses mains:

Alors la Mort le uint saisir,

Et consequemment tous humains.

Adam and Eve, preceded by Death, playing on a beggar's lyre or hurdy-gurdy, are driven by the angel from Eden.

Death borders upon our birth and our cradle stands in the grave. -- Richard Barnfield
