On the title-page to a German jeu d'esprit, in ridicule of some anonymous pedant, there is a wood-cut of Death mounted backwards on an ass, and near him a fool hammering a block of some kind on an anvil. The title of this satirical morsel is "Res Mira. Asinus sex linguarum jucundissimis anagrammatismis et epigrammatibus oneratus, tractionibus, depositionibus, et fustuariis probè dedolatus, hero suo remissus, ac instar prodromi præmissus, donec meliora sequantur, Asininitates aboleantur, virique boni restituantur: ubi etiam ostenditur ab asino salso intentata vitia non esse vitia. Ob variam ejus jucunditatem, suavitatem et versuum leporem recusus, anno 1625." The address to the reader is dated from Giessen, 19th June, 1606, and the object of the satire disguised under the name of Jonas Melidæus. "Les Consolations de l'ame fidelle contre les frayeurs de la mort, par Charles Drelincourt." Amsterdam, 1660. 8vo. "Deugden Spoor De Vijfte Der-Eeringe Aen de Medicijas met sampt Monsieur Joncker Doctor Koe-Beest ende alle sijne Complicen." Death introduces an old man to a physician who is inspecting a urinal. 12mo. Death leading an old man with a crutch, near a charnel-house, inscribed MEMENTO MORI. At top these verses: Il faut sans diferer me suivre Tu dois être prèt a partir Dieu ne t'a fait si longtemps vivre Que pour l'aprendre à bien mourir. A Amsterdam chez Henri Desbordes. Another print, with the same design. "Se vendent à Londres par Daniel Du Chemin." On a spade, the monogram [monogram: HF] 8vo. "Reflexions sur les grands hommes." In the foreground various pranks of Death. In the distance, a church-yard with a regular dance, in a circle, of men, women, and Deaths, two of the latter sitting on a monument and playing on a violin and violoncello. Engraved by A. D. Putter. 12mo. "La Dance Macabre, or Death's Duell," by W. C. _i. e._ Colman. Printed by Wm. Stansby, no date, 12mo. It has an elegantly engraved frontispiece by T. Cecill, with eight compartments, exhibiting Death with the pope, the emperor, the priest, the nobles, the painter, the priest, and the peasant. The poem, in six line stanzas, is of considerable merit, and entirely moral on the subject of Death, but it is not the Macaber Dance of Lydgate. At the end, the author apologizes for the title of his book, which, he says, was injuriously conferred by Roger Muchill upon a sermon of Dr. Donne's, and adds a satirical epistle against "Muchill that never did good." There certainly was a sermon by Donne, published by Muchill or Michel, with the title of "Death's Duell."
