THE BEGGAR.
Miser ego homo! Quis nie liberabit de corpore mortis huius?
Rom. vii.
Qui hors la chair veult en Christ viure
Ne craint mort, mais dit un mortel,
Helas, qui me rendra deliure
Pouure homme de ce corps mortel?
The Beggar, lying on straw outside the city, cries in vain for Death.
All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing. -- Maurice Maeterlinck
