XXIV.
The Nun
Die Nonne.
Est via quæ videtur homini iusta: nouissima autem eius deducunt hominem ad mortem. — Prover. iiii.
The young Nun kneels at the altar, but turns to her lover who plays upon a lute. Death meantime, as a hideous old hag,
extinguishes the altar candles.
Telle uoye aux humains est bonne,
Et a l’homme tresiuste semble.
Mais la fin d’elle a l’homme donne,
La Mort, qui tous pecheurs assemble.
