full figure memento mori with Latin inscription:
Bonum
Qui alios sibi anteposuerunt
et res meliores quam
invenerunt reliquerunt:
Terra vobis levis sit.
In Malis
Qui egoistae et crudeles erant,
ab omnibus odio affecti et qui
mundum destruxerunt:
Sub luto foetido in aeternum putrescant.
Translation:
Good
Those who put others before themselves
and left behind better things than
they found:
May the earth be easy for you.
In Evil
Those who were selfish and cruel,
hated by all and who
destroyed the world:
May they rot forever under the stinking mud.
