Note 17 — Chapter IV · A STROLL IN NANCY
Reading edition
Her epitaph, written by herself, is to the effect that underneath lies a rotting worm, giving to death the tribute of nature, the earth her only covering, and begging her sisters, the Poor Clares, to say for her a Requiescat in pace.
Ci-gist un ver tout en pourriture, Donnant à mort le tribut de la nature. Sœur Philippe de Gueldre fust Royne du passé, Terre soulat pour toute couverture. Sœurs, dites-lui une requiescat in pace. MDXLVII.
