De mort, & d’Amour.[1]
Prosopopoeie. et Apostrophe.
Amour & Mort, ensemble voyagerent:
Mort ung carquoys, Amour des traictz avoit.
Ensemble au soir coucherent, & logerent:
Aveugle Amour, aveugle Mort estoit:
Car les traictz print l’ung de l’aultre à mal droict,
Mort les traictz d’or, Amour ceulx d’ossement.
D’ond le vieillard, qui mort estre debvroit

Porte boucquetz & aime doulcement:
Moy de ces traictz (changéz trop faulsement)
Feru je meurs, & jeune, mort demeure.
Pardonne enfant, Mort pardonne au torment:
Fay moy aimer, fay que le vieillard meure.
Cest Embleme est de tresbonne, & an-
cienne invention des Grecz, laquelle bien
enrichie, & plus au long descripte, qui la
vouldra veoir, lise
Jean le Maire de Bel-
ges. Selon le sens de laquelle: on voit sou
vent advenir que les jeunes meurent: &
les vieillardz de-
viennent folz amoureux,
qui est une des trois choses desplaisantes
à Dieu, & au monde.
1. The iconography of the emblems ‘De morte et amore’ and ‘In formosam fato praereptam’ (next emblem) is confused in many editions.
