PAIX.
Beste portant tours de bois, dent d’ivoire,
Accoustumée en guerre avoir victoire,
Est maintenant au collier L’elephant.
Et de Cesar traict le char triumphant,
Concorde es gens cognoist mesme la beste,
Et de la paix (armes laissant) faict feste.[1]
Cesar en son triumphe monta au Capitol avec qua-
rante Elephans portans chascun six hommes, avec
flambeaux ardens, & odorans, en signe de Paix acqui-
se par guerre. Car l’Elephant, est (ou ha esté)
Beste guerroyable, par sa force, &
adresse: & beste triumpha
le, & pacificque pour sa docile humanité.
1. This is translated from Anthologia graeca 9.285, which refers to an occasion under the Emperor Tiberius when the statue of the Deified Augustus was for the first time borne in procession in a chariot drawn by elephants.
