Concordiae Symbolum.
A symbol of concord.
Emblema. xxxviii.
Cornicum mira inter se concordia vitae est,
Mutua statque illis intemerata fides.[1][2]
Hinc volucres haec sceptra gerunt, quòd scilicet omnes
Consensu populi stántque, cadúntque duces:
Quem si de medio tollas, discordia praeceps
Advolat, & secum regia fata trahit.
Marvellous is the unanimity between crows as they live together, and their mutual loyalty stands firm and unsullied. For this reason these birds hold the sceptre. - Assuredly all leaders stand and fall by the consent of the people. If you take away consent, tumultuous discord comes flying in and drags kings down in its wake.

PRincipum summorum status non aliunde fir-
mius stabilimentum capit, quàm à populi con-
sensu, concordia, & benevolentia. Itaque pruden-
ter & providè faciunt, qui stabile ac securum in
subditos imperium tutari volunt, cum motuum om-
nium & seditionum causas praecidunt, malúntque à
suis amari quàm timeri. Quod ostenditur symbo-
lo cornicum sceptrum regium sustentantium. Cor-
nicem haberi pro concordiae nota didicimus et
Oro, aliísque.

La marque de Concorde.
GRand amour & concorde est entre les corneilles
Et en fidelité elles n’ont leurs pareilles.
Et pource ces oiseaux les sceptres des grands Roys
Soustiennent constamment: car par commune voix,
Et suffrages du peuple est la puissance toute
Des Princes & des Roys establie ou dissoulte.
Que si l’accord du peuple & union n’est point,
Le discord s’y fourrant, l’estat viendra au point
D’estre en tout renversé par une fin extreme,
Et le Roy en danger de se perdre soy-mesme.
L’Estat des grands Princes n’a point de
plus certain & asseuré fondement, que
du consentement, concorde & bien-veuil-
lance des subjects. Par ainsi ceux sont bien-
advisez qui voullans maintenir leur peuple
en bonne & ferme obeissance, retranchent
toutes occasions de troubles & seditions, ai-
mans mieux estre cheris de leurs subjets que
d’estre craints & redoutez. Ce qui est mon-
stré par la figure des corneilles, qui sou-
stiennent un sceptre royal. Aussi avons nous
apprins d’Orus Apollo & autres, que la cor-
neille est prinse pour une marque de con-
corde.
