EMBLEMA CXLIX.
Impudentia.
Impudence.
Pube tenus mulier, succincta latrantibus infra
Monstrorum catulis, Scilla biformis erat.
Monstra pudantur[1] avarities, audacia, raptus,
At Scylla est nullus cui sit in ore pudor.
As far as the hips a woman, with barking monster-pups below, Scylla was two-shaped. The monsters are interpreted as avarice, audacity, plunder. But anyone whose face knows no shame is a Scylla.
Das CXLIX.
Unverschämt.
Scylla hett ein zwigstalten Leib
Biß auff die Teuch was sie ein Weib

Aber hinab ein wunderburt
Billend Hund nauff biß an den Gurt
Bey diesen Wunderthieren thut
Man verstohn Geitz, Raub und frechs Blut
Aber Scylla nur den macht kundt
Der kein Scham hat in seinem Mundt.

EMBLEMA CXLVI.
Mentem non formam plus pollere.
Intelligence matters, not beauty
Link to an image of this page [O3r f94r]
Ingressa vulpes in Choragi pergulam,
Fabrè expolitum invenit humanum caput
Sic eleganter facricatum [=fabricatum]
, ut spiritus
Solùm deesset, caeteris vivisceret:
Id illa cùm sumpsisset in manus ait:
Hoc[1] quale caput est, sed cerebrum non habet.[2]
A fox, entering the store-room of a theatrical producer, found an actor’s mask, skilfully shaped, so finely fashioned that the spirit alone was missing, in all else it seemed alive. Taking it up, the fox addressed it - What a head is this, but it has no brain!
Das CXLVI.
Das Gemüt ist uber die gestalt.
Ein Füchßlin schluff in ein Werckstat
Eins Kunstreichen Bildhauwers drat
Darinn es fandt schön außpoliert
Eines Menschen Haupt und geziert
Also lieblich daß anderst nicht
Mangelt, dann daß es war erticht
Und hett kein Geist sonst wer es gsein
Als wer es lebendig und fein
Diß das Füchßlin in sein Füß fast
Und hin und wider wol betast
Sprach es, was ist es für ein Kopff
Hat es doch kein Hiren im Schopff?
