THE DANCE OF DEATH. PLATE IX.THE CARDINAL. Which justify tlie wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him. Isaiait, v. 23. A messenger has just presented to him, on his knees, the bull that constitutes him a cardinal. Death seizes this moment to make his appearance, and seems to want to turn his hat upon his head. The messenger is holding in his right hand a tin box, hung by a strap, in which he had, no doubt, carried the bull, which the new-made cardinal holds in his right hand with the seals appended to it, PLANCHE IX.LE CARDINAL. Un messager vient de lui remettre, en faisant line genuflexion, la bulle qui le fait cardinal. La Mort saisit ce moment pour paroitre, et semble vouloir lui faire tourner son chapeau sur la tete. Le messager tient de la main droite une boite de fer-blanc, pendue a une courroie, et dans laquelle il avoitsans doute apporte la bulle, que le cardinal nouYellement cree tient a la main droite avec les sceaux y affixes.
