The Dance of Death

XXIII. - The Mendicant Friar

THE MENDICANT FRIAR.
THE MENDICANT FRIAR.

[88]

Sedentes in tenebris, & in vmbra mortis, vinctos in mendicitate.

Psal. cvi.

Toy qui n'as soucy, ny remord

Sinon de ta mendicité,

Tu fierras a l'umbre de Mort

Pour t'ouster de necessité.

Death seizes the friar just as his begging box and bag are filled.

What good can come of meetingdeath with tears? If a man is sorry for himself he doubles death. -- Euripides

[91]
