[Artemisia] Sad News

[Marten van Rosenveldt]

Good friends,

I did not have the pleasure of meeting this Lady or her Lord Husband but my Don, Maitre Guillaume, has told me of their love for each and fine character.

I am reminded of the words of the poet, John Dunne, in these circumstances.

DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee 
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so, 
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow, 
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
