EMBLEME XXXVI.

Comme le Crocodil fuit celui qui le chasse,
Et l’homme qui le craint cruellement pourchasse:
Ainsi ce vieil serpent, ennemi des humains,
Te craint si tu l’assaux, t’assaut si tu le crains.[1]

Notes:

1.  The crocodiles in this image, like the motto for emblem 14, may have been derived from Bocchi, Symbolicarum Quaestionum libri quinque, 4.99.
