Esperance prochaine.
Tourmentée est Republicque, de tant
De maulx, que seulle esperance est restant.
Comme une nef en mer aulx vents tendue
De toutes pars par les flotz ja fendue.

Mais quand Castor, & Pollux y viendra:
Les coeurs faillis. Bon espoir nous rendra.
Translation d’une nef agitée de
tourmente: à une Republicque
vexée. Et des feux de Castor, &
Pollux: aulx defenseurs de Re-
publicque, ou survenue de bon
Prince, ou bons gouverneurs.
Lesquelz feux apparoissans en
tourmente signifient salut pro-
chain: & sont appelléz des Ma-
riniers, Sainct Esme, & sainct
Clair.

EMBLEMA XLVII.
Mutuum auxilium.
Mutual help
Loripedem sublatum humeris fert lumine captus
Et socii haec oculis munera retribuit.
Quo caret alteruter, concors sic praestat uterque,
Mutuat hic oculos, mutuat ille pedes.[1]
A man deprived of sight carries on his shoulders one with deformed feet and offers this service in return for the use of his companion’s eyes. So each of them by mutual consent supplies what the other lacks. One borrows eyes, the other feet.

Das XLVII.
Doppelte Hülff.
Ein blinder auff seim rucken tregt
Ein lamen so waren verregt
Sein Füß das er wandlen kondt nit
Hergeben er regiert den drit
Was einem jeden bresten thut
Dasselb erstatt der eynigkeit mut
Der ein thut leyhen die Füß sein
Der ander leicht seine Augenschein.
