THE DANCE OF DEATH. PLATE XXIX.THE OLD WOMAN. Death is better than a bitter life, or continual sickness. Eccles. xxx. 17. The grim countenance of this good old Dame does not indicate the same resignation as appears in the former subject. Wholly occupied in mumbling her rosary, she pays no attention to the sound of a dulcimer,, on which one of her conductors is playing. The other skeleton, impatient of the slowness of the Old Woman's march, is employing menaces and, blows to make her advance. : PLANCHE XXIX.LA VIE1LLE. Le visage rechigne de cette bonne Vieille n'annonce pas la merne resignation que dans le sujet precedent. Toute occupee a marmotter son rosaire, elle ne prete aucune attention au son du timpanon dont joue Tune de ses conductrices. L'autre squelette^ impatient de la lenteur que la bonne Vieille met dans sa marche, emploie les menaces & les coups pour la faire avancer.
