THE SHIPMAN.
THE SHIPMAN.

[102]

Qui volunt diuites fieri incidunt in laqueum diaboli, & desideria multa, & nociua, quĉ mergunt homines in interitum.

I. Ad Timo. vi.

Pour acquerir des biens mondains

Vous entrez en tentation,

Qui uous met es perilz soubdains,

Et uous maine a perdition.

Death breaks the mast of the ship, and the crew are in extremity.

The worst evil is to leave the rank of the living before one dies. -- Seneca
