In subitum terrorem.
Sudden terror
EMBLEMA CXXII.
Effuso cernens fugientes agmine turmas,
Quis mea nunc inflat cornua? Faunus[1] ait.
Seeing the squadrons fleeing, their line in disarray, ‘Who now’, said Faunus, ‘is sounding my trumpets?’
1. Faunus is here equated with Pan, the half-goat rustic god (see [A91a097]), accredited with the invention of the horn or military trumpet, and responsible for unexplained ‘panic’ terrors seizing man and beast, especially on the battle-field and in wild lonely places. See Erasmus, Adagia 2603, Panicus casus.

Parvam culinam duobus ganeonibus
non sufficere.
A small kitchen will not satisfy two gluttons
In modicis nihil est quòd quis lucretur, & unum
Arbustum geminos non alit Eirythacos.[1]
ALIUD,
In tenui spes nulla lucri est, unoque residunt
Arbusto geminae non bene Ficedulae.
No one can make anything out of small resources. One clump of trees does not feed two robins.
Other.
There is no hope of gain where means are small. Two flycatchers (lit. fig-peckers) don’t lodge well in one clump of trees.
1. ‘One clump of trees does not feed two robins’. For this proverb, see Apostolius, Proverbs 11.68, where it is said to refer to ‘those who try to turn something small into a source of profit’.
