The Dance of Death

XLIII. - The Gambler

THE GAMESTER.
THE GAMBLER.

[130]

Quid prodest homini, si vniuersum Mundum lucretur, animæ autem suæ detrimentum patiatur?

Matt. xvi.

Que vault à l'homme tout le Monde

Gaigner d'hazard, & chance experte,

S'il recoit de sa uie immonde

Par Mort, irreparable perte?

Death and the Devil seize upon the Gambler at his cards.

Death keeps no calendar. -- English Saying
