| Description |
The Three Dead Kings: Part 8 The loathliest one speaks last, his loins so lean His legs are lank as leeks swathed in linen: “I am your mirror. My merrymaking’s a mean Bit of murk now. I’ve done more earthly sinning Than any moral excellences, mistreated the men Of my lands: vilified villagers, scorned those serving My meals, thought myself regal, who was always moaning. There’s not a knave now will do my bidding Who’s not an idiot or fool Who pays no heed to the tomb. No one succumbs to my rule. Time, remorseless and cruel Leads me on to the Doom.” Fifteenth century Middle English alliterative poem ‘De Tribus Regibus Mortuis’, attributed to John Audelay, translated by Giles Watson. The picture shows detail from a wall-painting depicting The Three Living and the Three Dead, from Raunds Church, Northamptonshire.
