The Dance of Death

XXXIV. - The Countess

THE COUNTESS.

[110]

Ducunt in bonis dies suos, & in puncto ad inferna descendunt.

Iob xxi.

En biens mõdains leurs iours despendẽt

En uoluptez, & en tristesse,

Puis soubdain aux Enfers descendent

Ou leur ioye passe en tristesse.

Death helps her at her tiring by decorating her with a necklet of dead men's bones.

Have the courage to live. Anyone can die. -- Robert Cody
