The Doleful Death and Dirge of Harpalus. (Continued)

Figure descriptions
Multiple figures are dispersed around a windmill. Most of the figures are on a small bridge at the forefront of the illustration. On one end of the bridge, a man and another figure converse while leaning over the guard rail. At the center of the bridge, a man who wears a large hat and a cape leans against the guard rail. At the opposite guard rail, a boy kneels and wraps his arms around one of the bridge’s posts; there is a jar on the step next to him. At the other end of the bridge, closest to the foreground, two women and a man stand together. The women wear scarves around their head and the man wears a hat. A small dog walks past their feet. Two figures stand in the distance, beyond the windmill. They look out at the water. A section of the hand-drawn poem text is placed in the bottom-right corner below the rest of the illustration. Full page.
A man lies face down on a grassy hill that overlooks a body of water. His hands are clasped together next to his head. There is a tree behind the man, which curves slightly and hangs over the water. A frog sits on a rock in the water. Three sheep stand behind the man and look toward him. There are more sheep on a hill in the distance. A section of the hand-drawn poem text is placed below the rest of the illustration. 1/3 page.
An angel sits with its back turned to the viewer. Behind the angel, there are flowers and a pipe emitting smoke. A skull with tear drops falling from it is placed to the left of the angel. A final section of the hand-drawn poem text is placed above the rest of this illustration. This section is set in a different style of lettering from the rest of the poem text. There is a small hourglass placed next to the first line. 1/32 page.
