Mors de la Pomme, Death and angels

Death's mandate is announced by two angels. The first angel shouts: »Oyez oyez!« (listen, listen) like a town crier. The words "Oyez oyez!" were shouted at the opening of law courts in England and are still being shouted in the American high court.

    Death

Come and see the mandate
from the sovereign justice.
To all it will clearly show
124 that I have an undeniable assignment.
