Amour de ses enfans.
Apostrophe.
Le Ramier faict son nid avant le ver,
Et ses oeufz couve au plus fort de l’hyver:
Pour ses petitz sa plume arrache, & nu
Il meurt de froid, quand l’hyver est venu.[1]
Progné, Medée, honte point ne te mord?
Veu qu’un oyseau pour les siens reçoit mort?[2]
La Palumbe qui se despoille, & meurt de froid pour
couvrir & eschaufer ses petiz venuz en hyver: donne
exemple de piteuse mere à toutes femmes: & faict honte à
celles qui laissent perir leurs enfans, par faulte de cure,
ou les tuent, comme feit Progné & Medée.

EMBLEMA LXXII.
Gratiam referendam.
Show gratitude.
Aërio insignis pietate Ciconia nido,
Link to an image of this page [H6r f49r]Investes pullos pignora grata fovet.
Taliaque expectat sibi munera mutua reddi,
Auxilio hoc quoties mater egebit anus.
Nec pia spem soboles fallit, sed fessa parentum
Corpora fert humeris, praestat & ore cibos.[1]
The stork, famed for its dutiful care, in its airy nest cherishes its featherless chicks, its dear pledges of love. The mother bird expects that the same kind of service will be shown her in return, whenever she needs such help in her old age. Nor does the dutiful brood disappoint this hope, but bears its parents’ weary bodies on its wings and offers food with its beak.
Das LXXII.
Man sol danckbar seyn.[2]
In lüfften hoch so nist embor
Der Storck in treuwen hat empfor
Und liebt sein jungen also blutt
Die er doch fleissig nehren thut
In der hoffnung das gleicher weiß
Von in widerfar so er greiß

Werdt und mit alter bladen groß
Irer hülff wider werde gnoß
Diese hoffnung der elter mildt
Ist nit umb sonst ist nit verspilt,
Dann sie die elter also ald
Auff iren rucken tragen bald
Oesent[3] herwider sie auch Son
Als sie inen zuvor hond gthon.
