Probably executed at Dresden, where Warou worked in the
early part of his career.
The Queen is represented passing into immortality, and
relinquishing the honours and splendour of earthly things.
But when the soul’s releas’d from dull mortality,
She passes up in triumph through the sky;
Where she’s united to a glorious throng
Of angels ; who, with a celestial song,
Congratulate her conquest as she flies along.—Pomfret.
