EMBLEMA XIX.
Adstricti glacie niti qui fluminis audet,
Haud rarò glacie dissiliente perit.
Hoc sapite exemplo istius quos commoda vitae
Innumeris fallunt lubrica cuncta modis.
He who dares to stand on the ice of the frozen river, frequently persishes when the ice bursts asunder. Know this by this man’s example, you whom all the slippery advantages of life deceive in innumerable ways.
