Che la Musica è amata da gli Iddii.
Music is loved by the Gods.
L’arguta
Cetra col
nemico a prova
Sonava Elpino;[1] e mentre al suono è intento,
Di
saventura inusitata e nova
Ruppe una corda, onde fini il concento.
Ma
in quel difetto una Cicala giova,
Ch’a
la corda suppli con dolce accento.
Ond’ei
di bronzo una Cicala dona.
A Phebo, accio di lei sia la corona.
1. Elpino is a stock pastoral character who sometimes plays the lute..

INSIGNIA POETARUM.
Insignia of poets
Emblema 182.
Gentiles clypeos sunt qui in Iovis alite gestant,
Sunt quibus aut serpens, aut leo signa ferunt:
Dira sed haec vatum fugiant animalia ceras,
Doctaque sustineat stemmata pulcher olor.
Hic Phaebo sacer[1], & nostrae regionis Alumnus:
Rex olim[2], veteres servat adhuc titulos.
Some have a family crest distinguished by the bird of Jove, for others the serpent or the lion provides the sign. But let these dread beasts flee from poets’ images; let the lovely swan support their learned clan. This bird is sacred to Phoebus and is a nursling of my homeland. A king once, it still preserves its ancient titles.
