THE COUNT.
For when he dieth, he shall carry nothing away : His glory shall not descend after him. Psalm xlix. 17.
None of those honors which the great And mighty now attend, When Death shall cast them from their seat, Shall to the grave descend.
No ensigns of a glorious race, They thither shall convey, Nor titles high : for in the grave They nought but dust shall be.
EMBLEMS OF MORTALITY. 67 THE COUNT.
A Count is a title of nobility on the conti- nent of Europe, equivalent to the English Earl,... and whose domain is a County. In the Ger- man Empire, their influence increased with the progress of the nation, whilst the imperial gov- ernment grew weaker and weaker. They even began to transmit their titles to their children. In the twelfth century, the division of counties on the continent of Europe was abolished, and thus the Counts lost their jurisdiction, except on their own possessions.
The engraving appears to be a representation of Death, who having the armorial bearings of the Count in his possession, follows close on his track to strip him of all the honorable dis- tinctions which may be about him.
