XIII.
The Duke
Der Herzog.
Princeps induetur mœrore. Et quiescere faciam superbiã potentium. — Ezechie. vii.
The Duke turns pitilessly from a beggar-woman and her child. Meanwhile Death, fantastically crowned, lays hands on
him.
Vien, prince, auec moy, & delaisse
Honneurs mondains tost finissantz.
Seule suis qui, certes, abaisse
L’orgueil & pompe des puissantz.
