Mors Mortis Morti mortem nisi morte dedisset
Æternæ Vitæ janua clausa foret.
["Except the Death of Death Death's death by death had been
Ne'er would Eternal Life with door unshut be seen.">[
And in the church of Fen Stanton, low down amid the Ouse meadows near St. Ives, is the following ancient rebus (also hard by the Priest's Door):
| QV | A | D | T | M | P | ||||||
| OS | NGVIS | IRVS | RISTI | VLCEDINE | AVIT | ||||||
| H | SA | M | X | D | L |
I.e.—Quos Anguis dirus tristi mulcedine pavit
Hos Sanguis mirus Christi dulcedine lavit.
["Whom the dire Serpent fouls with poisonous food
Christ washeth in His sweet and wondrous Blood.">[
A variant of these lines is to be seen in the Alpine sanctuary of Champéry near the Lake of Geneva.
