THE MERCHANT.
Qui congregat thesauros mendacij vanus & excors est, & impingetur ad laqueos mortis.
Prover. xxi.
Vain est cil qui amassera
Grandz biens, & tresors pour mentir,
La Mort l'en fera repentir.
Car en ses lacz surpris sera.
Death arrests the merchant among his newly-arrived bales.
We must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. -- Holy Bible, 2 Samuel Cgapter 14v. 14
