In eum qui sibi damnum apparat.
One who brings about his own downfall.
Emblema lxiiii.
Capra lupum non sponte meo nunc ubere lacto.
Quod malè pastoris provida cura iubet.[1]
Creverit ille simul, mea me post ubera pascet:
Improbitas nullo flectitur obsequio.[2]
I am a goat giving suck against my will - to a wolf. The improvident kindness of the shepherd makes me do this. Once the wolf has grown, after feeding at my teats, he will then eat me. Wickedness is never deterred by services rendered.
ID petitum è Graeco incerti auctoris, de capra lupi
catulum lactante. De ingratis intelligitur, iísque
maximè qui perniciem aut detrimentum afferunt
de se bene meritis. quo genere sceleris nullum aliud
execrabilius aut dignius supplicio. Quid enim de-
terius, quàm iis vitam adimere, aut etiam afficere
incommodis, qui nobis vitae causa fuerunt?

à soy-mesme.
JE, las, malheureuse Chevrette,
Outre mon gré un loup j’allaitte
Par la faulte de mon berger.
Car il y a bien grand danger
Qu’un loup de maligne nature,
Ayant de moy prins nourriture,
Se jette sur moy à son poinct:
La malice ne change point.
CEcy est prins de l’Epigramme Grec
d’un autheur sans nom, sur la chevre
allaictant un louveteau. Ce qui est enten-
du des ingrats, & de ceux notamment qui
causent la mort ou dommage à ceux dont
ils ont receu des biens: qui est une espece
de meschanceté & forfaict le plus execrable
du monde, & digne de punition. Car qui a
il de plus meschant qu’oster la vie, ou don-
ner des traverses à ceux qui nous ont donné
la vie?
