PACE.
Peace.
L’Helephante, che atterra le persone
Ne le battaglie, e ne fa
straccii & scempi
Hor volontario il collo al giogo pone,
E conduce
il triompho a i sacri Templi.
Una fera cognosce ancho la pace,
Et
humile a l’altrui
voler soggiace.

Ex bello pax.
Peace succeeding to war
EMBLEMA CLXXVIII.
Link to an image of this page [Aaa1v p738]En galea, intrepidus quam miles gesserat, & quae
Saepius hostili sparsa cruore fuit:
Parta pace apibus tenuis concessit in usum
Alveoli, atque favos, grataque mella gerit.
Arma procul iaceant: fas sit tunc sumere bellum
Quando aliter pacis non potes arte frui.[1]
See here a helmet which a fearless soldier previously wore and which was often spattered with enemy blood. After peace was won, it retired to be used as a narrow hive for bees; it holds honey-combs and nice honey. - Let weapons lie far off; let it be right to embark on war only when you cannot in any other way enjoy the art of peace.
1. Cf. Anthologia graeca, 6.236, where bees nest in what were once the beaks (projections at the prow) of war-galleys.
