Armes & devise des Alciatz.
Jamais ne fault remettre.
ou differer au l’en-
demain.
Des Alciatz les armes porte Alcé,[1]
Et tel devis es ongles, rien laisse
Ce respondit Alexandre, enquesté
Comme si tost, tant avoit conquesté? Link to an image of this page [B2v p20]Jamais (dict il) ne voulant prolonger
Ce que demonstre Alce fort, & legier.
Alce est ung Septentrional demy Cerf, &
Cheval, de force & legiereté merveilleuse,
expediant ses courses sans retarder, d’ond à
peine peut estre jamais prins, du nom duquel
(signifiant en graec force, & diligence,) est
deduict le nom de alciat. Et de sa natu-
re, la divise, respondue par Alexandre. Laquel
le ne peut estre rendue bien à propos en Fran
cois, comme elle est en Graec. Mais en som-
me elle donne à entendre, que les grandes oeu-
vres sont faictes, & les grandes choses acqui-
ses, par effort, & cours continuel au travail,
tant du corps que de l’esprit.
Ces trois Emblemes, à cause du Prince,
du Pay, & du surnom de L’auteur, hont
este praemis comme vestibule, Porche
ou Portal de tout l’oeuvre. Dans lequel
maintenant on entre par la chose au
monde souveraine qui est
DIEU, OU RELIGION.
1. An elk, representing the family name, is carved on Alciato’s tomb in Pavia.
