camarde

female equivalent of camard; Death (personification of death)

“Car, enfin, la Camarde est assez vigilante / Elle n'a pas besoin qu'on lui tienne la faux / Plus de danse macabre autour des échafauds !” — Because after all, Death is vigilant enough / He does not need us to hold the scythe for him / No more macabre dance around the scaffold!
