PLATE XV.—THE PHYSICIAN.
Death is leading to him a sick old man, whose urine he is presenting to him in a phial, and appears saying, in a jeering manner, Dost thou think that thou art able to save a man whom I have already in my power?
Medice curate ipsum. Lucæ iv. 23.
PLANCHE XV.—LE MEDECIN.
La Mort lui amène un vieillard malade dont elle lui présente l’urine dans une phiole, & paroît lui dire d’un air moqueur; Crois-tu pouvoir sauver un homme que je tiens déjà en ma puissance?
PLATE XVI.—THE ASTROLOGER.
He has his eyes fixed on a sphere hanging from the ceiling, and appears profoundly engaged in the vain chimeras of judicial astrology, while Death comes to turn his attention upon a death-head, which he is presenting to him in a most grotesque attitude, seeming to say, in a jeering tone, Could thy sublime art inform thee, that I was coming to pay thee this visit to-day?
