VII.
The Emperor
Der Kaiser.
Dispone domui tuæ, morieris enim tu, & non viues. — Isaiæ xxxviii.
Ibi morieris, & ibi erit currus gloriæ tuæ. — Isaiæ xxii.
The Emperor (Maximilian I.) rates his minister for injustice to a suitor. But even in the act Death discrowns him.
De ta maison disposeras
Comme de ton bien transitoire,
Car là ou mort reposeras,
Seront les chariotz de ta gloire.
