The Dance of Death

XLIV. - The Drunkard

THE DRUNKARD.

[132]

Ne inebriemini vino, in quo est luxuria.

Ephes. v.

De vin (auquel est tout exces)

Ne vous enyurez pour dormir

Sommeil de Mort qui au deces

Vous face l'ame, & sang vomir.

Men and women carouse: down the throat of one bloated fellow Death pours the wine.

The paths of fame and fortune lead but to the coffin and the grave. -- Roche
