EMBLEME XVII.
L’Impieté doibt estre refrenee & desracinee.
Au S. Jaques Susius homme tresdocte.[1]
Le mortel ennemy des serpens venimeus
Est monté sur un sceptre appuié sur l’éschine
Du cheval qui se paist dans le Nil orageus.
Le sceptre ou l’equité heureusement domine
Dompte les orguilleus, consume le coupable,
Et terrasse de tout le méchant miserable.
Notes:
1. Susius: Jacob Suys or Jacques de Suys, Heer van Nederveen, Tolsende & Greysoord (d. 1591). Here described as ‘learned man’.
