Paix.
De paix le simulachre est painct
Qu’elle a de boucliers pres L’olive
Et blé dont fault que l’oyseau vive,
Puis l’eau qui l’ardent feu estainct.

CElluy qui m’a paincte & taillée,
Et m’a ceste forme baillée
Congnoist assez bien mes effectz,
Comment furent & seront faictz:
Je suis paix treshaulte déesse
Engendrée en joye & liesse
Lassus au trosne glorieux
De Juppiter le roy des cieulx.
J’ay pres de moy L’olive verte,
Monstrant que quand paix est ouverte
D’olive on porte les rameaulx.
En laissant boucliers & cousteaulx,
Car paix est la fin de la guerre.
S’on vouloit d’advantage enquerre
L’effect de ceste fantasie,
Ainsi que le blé rassasie
La fain, & l’eau estainct la braise
Et le feu de quelque fournaise,
Ainsi par quelque laps de temps,
Je fais finer mortelz contentz,
Noyses querelles & debatz
Et au [=aux]
plus grans plaisirs m’esbas.
J’ay ung filz qui amour s’appelle
Qui de soy haict, chasse & expelle
Ung aultre amour filz de Venus
Duquel plusieurs maulx sont venus.
1. Cf. Ceres in Ovid, Fastii, 1.704 and 4.407. Love, son of Peace, would be the equivalent of Anteros (cf. Erwin Panofsky, Studies in Iconology (New York, 1939), pp. 126-127; and Guy de Tervarent, Attributs et symboles dans l’art profane, 1450-1600, 2 vols. (Geneva, 1958-64, re-edition, 1997), col. 19). Anteros figures in Alciato, ‘ἀντέρως, id est, amor virtutis’ ([FALa080]), and ‘Αντέρως Amor virtutis alium Cupidinem superans’ ([FALa072]). See also in this book, emblems 69, 89 and 90 ([FCGa069], [FCGa089], [FCGa090]).
