Antiquus, cuncta at jurgia morte cadunt.

An engraving by Langlois. Death with a basket at his shoulder, on which sits an owl, and holding with one hand a lantern, seizes the dice of a gambler sitting at a table with his winnings spread before him. At top, these verses:
Alarme O le pipeur, chassez, chassez le moy,
Je ne veux pas jouer a la raffle avec toy.
La Mort.
A la raffle je joue avec toutes personnes
Toutes pieces je prends, tant meschantes que bonnes.

Qui genio indulges, media inter gaudia morti
Non dubiæ certum sis memor esse locum.
