[M.185L] [M.185] Ducal palace. S of C. 185 4 with lamb, humilitas, bitat in uno. 5. Karitas, the child's figure good, but one cannot see what the woman has in her hand. 6. Rex sum justicie; with crown and sword: well featured 7. Prudentia, with compasses and book. 8. Spem habe in (Domino) D N O the sun has no hand: but a face with clouds about it, a common ugly child's face The Thirtieth: 1 Accidia me stringit Between branches of trees; which are well undercut. This whole figure better. looks thin & wasted, what has she to do with trees? 2 Vanitas crowned; but none of the rich dress or foolish simper of the other : rather a noble face on the contrary She has circular mirror, and hand on breast 3. Invidia me coburit. The lap dragon spirited - her head viper coarse to an inconceivable degree for middle age work - and her waist viper without a head, a mere cord: and no expression in face, unless a slight sternness. She points with her finger in same way. 4. Luxuria sum (sterc ? inferi)? Now note how absurd & mindless compared with the other: she has a fine dignified face, rather severe and calm: a decent long robe, up to her neck, graceful floating, not dishevelled hair and her hand on heart meekly: holding up mirror with the other.
