In una morte inanzi tempo.
On an untimely death.
Il piu vago fanciul, ch’ardea
d’Amore
Tutte le belle giovanette accorte
Ne la sua prima etade al’ultim
Condotto ha cruda e dispietata morte.
Hor di ricco sepolcro gli fa
honore
Chi l’amò; vivo, e’l
piange dopo morte,
E del suo duol segno
perpetuo fanno
I Delphini, e’l
Gorgon, che quivi stanno.

Amicitia etiam post mortem durans.[1]
Friendship lasting even beyond death
EMBLEMA CLX.
Arentem senio, nudam quoque frondibus ulmum
Complexa est viridi vitis opaca coma:[2]
Agnoscitque vices naturae, & grata parenti
Officii reddit mutua iura suo.
Exemploque monet, tales nos quaerere amicos,
Quos neque disiungat foedere summa dies.
A vine shady with green foliage embraced an elm tree that was dried up with age and bare of leaves. The vine recognises the changes wrought by nature and, ever grateful, renders to the one that reared it the duty it owes in return. By the example it offers, the vine tells us to seek friends of such a sort that not even our final day will uncouple them from the bond of friendship.
