THE EXPULSION.
Emisit eum Dominvs Devs de Paradiso voluptatis, vt operaretur terram de qua sumptus est.
Genesis iii.
DIEV chassa l'homme de plaisir
Pour uiure au labeur de ses mains:
Alors la Mort le uint saisir,
Et consequemment tous humains.
Adam and Eve, preceded by Death, playing on a beggar's lyre or hurdy-gurdy, are driven by the angel from Eden.
Death borders upon our birth and our cradle stands in the grave. -- Richard Barnfield
