THE SHIPMAN.
Qui volunt diuites fieri incidunt in laqueum diaboli, & desideria multa, & nociua, quĉ mergunt homines in interitum.
I. Ad Timo. vi.
Pour acquerir des biens mondains
Vous entrez en tentation,
Qui uous met es perilz soubdains,
Et uous maine a perdition.
Death breaks the mast of the ship, and the crew are in extremity.
The worst evil is to leave the rank of the living before one dies. -- Seneca
