Description:

A squire holds the horse of a young king, who leans over the body of a woman laid on a funeral pyre, while the lament of a group of distraught young men surrounds the couple. The motto Patior potior can be translated from Latin as “I endure, I am stronger.” Illustration for “The Wild Swans.”
