EMBLEME XLVI.
Le Lion par sus tout craint
la torche bruslante.[1]
Par laquelle il appaise une rage impuissante:
L’esprit fier & cruel se va tost appaisant,
Voyant de la sagesse un flambeau reluisant,
Ou craignant seullement une main punissante.
Notes:
1. The motto serves as the first line of the verse.
