EMBLEMA XX.
Quod duro lima est ferro, messique flagellum,
Auro quod ignis est rudi,
Hoc tibi, si sapias, crux est, licet aspera: quisquis
Caelum Deo petis duce.
What the file is to hard iron and what the flail is to the harvest, what fire is to the unrefined gold, if you are aware of it, that is what your cross is to you, even though it is harsh, you who seek Heaven with God as your guide.
