Que el Principe à de procurar el provecho
de sus subditos.

Ottava rhima.

A dolphin curled round an anchor with the sea as background.
[Click on image to enlarge]

Todas las vezes que el viento furioso
A’l espontoso [=espantoso] mar mueve gran guerra
Soccorre a’l navegante el piadoso
Delphin, clavando el ancora en la tierra.[1]
Quan bien pareçeria à el religioso
Rey, en quien la piedad pura se encierra,
Ser ancora à su pueblo de contino
Trayendo esta divisa d’el delphino.

Notes:

1.  The dolphin was supposed to guide the anchor to a good resting place. It was always friendly to man; cf. [A49a011]. In general, see Erasmus, Adagia 1001, Festina lente.
