Flemish, c. 1570: Mors ultima linea rerum
Copperplate print, 18.7 x 12.2 cm
Probably published by Philips Galle.
Translation of the Latin:
Mors sceptra ligonibus aequat
- "Death makes sceptres and hoes equal."
- "Der Tod macht Zepter und Hacken gleich."
Mors vltima linea rerum
Divitiis flores, et maiorum nobilitate te iactas, et exsultas de pulchritudine corporis et honoribus qui tibi ab hominibus deferuntur. Respice te ipsum, quia mortalis es, et quia terra es, et in terram ibis.
- "You flourish in wealth, and boast of the society of the great and powerful; you rejoice in the beauty of the body and the honours which men pay to you. Consider yourself, that you are mortal, that you are earth, and into the earth you shall go."
- "Sie gedeihen in Adel, Reichtum und Ruhm der großen und mächtigen Gesellschaft, sie freuen sich über des Körpers Schönheit und die Ehren, die die Menschen an sie zahlen. Sie sind sterblich wie du aus dem Land der Kunst, und zum Staub wirst du zurückkehren."
- Quotation from Prosper Tiro of Aquitaine
