Emblems of Mortality; representing, in upwards of fifty cuts, death seizing all ranks and degrees of people

by Unknown

Whatsoever thou takest in Hand, remember the End, and thou shalt never do amiss.

Ecclesiasticus vii. 36.

Spotless to live if thou desir’st,

And free from every Vice,

Let this Memorial constantly

Be placed before thine Eyes.

For it will often thee remind,

That Death will soon arrive,

And frequent Thought to all thy Acts
