In momentaneam felicitatem.
Transitory success
EMBLEMA CXXIIII.
Aeriam propter crevisse cucurbita pinum
Dicitur, & grandi luxuriasse coma:
Cùm ramos complexa, ipsumque egressa cacumen,
Se praestare aliis credidit arboribus.
Cui pinus, Nimium brevis est haec gloria: nam te,
Protinus adveniet, quae malè perdet, hiems.
A gourd, it is said, grew beside a lofty pine and flourished with abundant foliage. When it had enveloped the branches and grown taller than the tree-top, it then thought itself superior to the other trees. The pine said to it: This glory is exceedingly brief. For winter will shortly come which will utterly destroy you.

De soubdaine frayeur.
Pan[1] regardant gens fuyants estonnéz,
Qu’est ce (dict il) qui sonne mes cornetz?
Es armées, & grandes assemblées adviennent
aulcunefois des paours & frayeurs soudaines,
consternantes tous, sans quelque cause mani-
feste, sinon une craincte interieure, en ung
che-
scun sans savoir pourquoy. Lesquelz espoven
temens les anciens appelloient
Terreurs Pani-
cques: disans que le Dieu Pan alors sonnoit son
cor. Le son duquel envoyoit ces frayeurs
soub-
daines, & incertaines, es coeurs des hommes.
