Elizabethan Proverb Commentary: Here is today's proverb commentary, this time by Conybeare: Ilias malorum: A proverbe used, when many and great mischiefes and mysfortunes happen to a man togeather. .
For an image today, here is the story of the old man and death, 816. Mors et Pauper. Pauper quidam lignorum fasciculum portabat humeris. Longo deinde itinere fatigatus, onere se levavit, consedit humi, et flebili voce advocavit Mortem. Illa continuo adest, interrogans quid se velit. Respondet pauper, “Humi ut tolleres hunc fascem mihi, huc ego te vocavi.” Adeo in miseris etiam vitae amantes sunt mortales. (source)
