The Dance of Death

XLII. - The Soldier

THE SOLDIER.
THE SOLDIER.

[128]

Cum fortis armatus custodit atriũ suũ, &c. Si autem fortior eo superueniens vicerit eum, uniuersa eius arma aufert, in quibus confidebat.

Le sort armé en jeune corps

Pense auoir seure garnison;

Mais Mort plus forte, le met hors

De sa corporelle maison.

Death, armed only with a bone and shield, fights with the Soldier on the field of battle.

After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. -- Italian Saying
