THE KNIGHT.
THE KNIGHT.

[104]

Subito morientur, & in media nocte turbabuntur populi, & auferent violentum absqe manu.

Iob xxxiiii.

Peuples soubdain s'esleuront

A lencontre de l'inhumain,

Et le uiolent osteront

D'auec eulx sans force de main.

Death, in cuirass and chain-mail, runs the Knight through the body.

We know that death is always near, amd it should therefore always be expected. -- Johnson
