Si grand concorde, & foy entre trois freres,
Si grand amour fut en tous leurs affaires,
Qu’ilz furent Roys vinqueurs, & vincus non.
Tous trois nomméz Geryon, d’un seul nom.[1]

Concorde faict une union tresforte,
& invincible, de plusieurs foibles,
chascun à part soy.

Notes:

1.  This is a rationalisation of Geryones, the unconquerable giant with three heads or three bodies, who dwelt on the island Erytheia of the mythic Hesperides, eventually vanquished and killed by Hercules during his abduction of Geryones’ famous cattle. See Emblem 130 CHECK([A58a130]).

Concordia insupe-
rabilis.

Concord is insuperable

The three-headed king Geryones, holding a shield and three weapons
[Click on image to enlarge]

Tergeminos inter fuerat concordia fratret [=frates] .
Tanta simul pietas mutua, & unus amor:
Invicti humanis ut viribus ampla tenerent
Regna, uno dicti nomine Geryonis.[1]

There was concord between triplet brothers, such mutual care, one love between them all; and so, unconquerable by human force, they held wide realms and were called by the one name of Geryones.

Notes:

1.  This is a rationalisation of Geryones, the unconquerable giant with three heads or three bodies, who dwelt on the island Erytheia of the mythic Hesperides, eventually vanquished and killed by Hercules during his abduction of Geryones’ famous cattle. See Emblem 137 ([A51a137]).
