Matthäus Merian, The Basel Dance of Death: The Pope (1616)
"Come Holy Father, worthy man,
You must have the opening dance with me.
The indulgence will not help you against it,
Nor the double cross and triple crown."

The indulgence will not help you against it,
Nor the double cross and triple crown."
"I was called holy on earth,
Next to God I had the highest position.
The indulgence has profited me quite well.
Now Death will not spare me."
