THE DANCE OF DEATH. 45 PLATE XLTHE BISHOP. I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shalL be scattered abroad. Matt. xxvi. 31. With an air of tranquillity and resignation, this worthy Pastor follows Death, who is leading him away laughing and dancing, whilst some shepherds, forgetting their flocks, are wandering here and there through the country, in despair for the loss of their chief. The sun, now ready to set, is just about to leave in darkness the ill-fated flocks, who, having no longer a conductor, will soon become the prey of wolves and other ravenous animals. PLANCH E XLL'EVEQUE. D'un air de tranquillite & de resignation ce bon Pasteur suit la Mort, qui l'emmene en riant et en dansant, tandis que quelques bergers, ou-bliant leur troupeau, errent 9a & la dans la cam-pagne, desesperes de la perte de leur chef. Le soleil pret a se coucher, va laisser dans les t6ne-bres ce malheureux troupeau, qui n'ayant plus de conducteur, sera bientot la proie du loup & des autres betes feroces.
