The Basel Dance of Death 20

Matthäus Merian, The Basel Dance of Death: The Merchant (1616) 

"Sir Merchant, abandon your trade, 
Your time is here, now you must die. 
Death cannot be bribed with money or goods. 
Now dance along in high spirits." 

"I had provided well for my life, 
my chests and boxes were all full. 
Death has despised my wealth, 
and deprived me of life and limb."
