Corruit in curru suo.

i Chron. xxii.

Au passage de Mort peruerse

Raison, chartier tout esperdu,

Du corps le char, & cheuaux verse,

Le vin (sang de vie) espandu.

The wagon is overturned; one Death carries off a wheel, the other loosens the fastening of a cask.

Let us endeavor to live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry. -- Mark Twain
