EMBLEME XLIII.
Voyant cest enragé faire noyer soy-mesme
Et les siens, en perçant la nef qui les soustient:
Tu voids, helas! au vif ceste misere extreme
Du temps auquel le monde aujourd’hui s’entretient.[1]
Notes:
1. This emblem refers to the ‘ship of state’, being led by a madman (not specifically identified: could it be Henri III of France in 1580?).
