EMBLEMA CLXXXI [=180] .
In fraudulentos.
Deceivers
Parva lacerta, atris stellatus corpora guttis
Stellio,[1] qui latebras, & cava busta colit. Link to an image of this page [Q7r f114r]Invidiae, pravique doli fert symbola pictus.
Heu nimium nuribus cognita zelotypis.
Nam turpi obtegitur faciem, lentigine quisquis,
Sit quibus immersus Stellio, vina bibat.[2]
Hinc vindicta frequens decepta pellice vino,
Quam formae amisso flore relinquit amans.
The little lizard, called the ‘starred’ gecko from the dark star-shaped marks sprinkled all over its body, a creature that lurks in holes and hollow tombs, is pictured here and presents symbols of resentment and wicked deception, known only too well to jealous wives. For anyone who drinks wine in which a spotted gecko has been soaked comes out in ugly spots all over the face. This is often a way of taking revenge - the husband’s fancy woman is tricked with wine, and, when the flower of her beauty is gone, her lover abandons her.
Das CLXXXI [=180] .
Von den trügenhafftigen arglistigen .[3]
Das Edexen Gschlecht so ist klein
Und gesprecklet an der Haut sein
Darnach mans auch zu nennen pflegt
Und in die höler sich versteckt
Ist ein bedeutnuß abgebildt
Der verbunst, deß trug und lists milt
Fürwar den Hünen ist bekannt
Die uber ir man eyffrn im Welschlandt
Dann welches trincken thut den wein
Darinn diese würm erseufft sein
Diß angsicht wirt voll flecken gsetzt
Gantz ungstalt und die schön verletzt
Offt reichen sich mit diesem Wein
Die in nagen an irem beyn
Daß der Buler die dirne haßt
Weil sie ir schöne gstalt verlaßt.

Aspicis aurigam currus phaetonta[1] paterni,
Inguivomos [=Ignivomos]
ausum flectere solis equos.
Maxima qui postquàm terris incendia sparsit,
Est temere insesso lapsus ab axe miser.
Sic plerique rotis fortunae ad sydera Reges,
Evecti ambitio quos iuvenilis agit.
Póst magnam humani generis clademque suamque,
Cunctorum poenas denique dant scelerum.
You see here Phaethon, driving his father’s chariot, and daring to guide the fire-breathing steeds of the Sun. After spreading great conflagrations over the earth, the wretched boy fell from the car he had so rashly mounted. - Even so, the majority of kings are borne up to heaven on the wheels of Fortune, driven by youth’s ambition. After they have brought great disaster on the human race and themselves, they finally pay the penalty for all their crimes.
