- Takes place in Flanders
- They rioted all the time, drank all the time, and gambled
- Story is about three of these revelers in specific
- It was 9 at night, and the en were already a few drinks in and didn't know it was already still so early. They heard a bell in the street.
- The jingling supposedly happened before a corpse
- The men told the waiter to go ask the corpse's name and not to forget it on the way back
- The waiter said he didn't need to go ask because he heard of the name earlier and it was one of the men's friends
- The waiter said that he was drunk on a bench and Death finally got him
- Another man then said that Death had taken a lot of people in a near by town, so that is probably where he had been living, and will continue to live
- The waiter said you have to be mighty strong to face Death and win
- The friends then promised to all go and meet Death and defeat him
- As the friends drunkenly headed to the other town, they passed an old man in tattered clothing who told them "God keep you gentlemen"
- One of the friends asked why the man was wrapped up all over except for on his face and why he was still alive if he was already so old
