tetrastichon.
Dum simul in medio contendunt aequore nautae,
Hos niger insanis obruit Auster[1] aquis:
Sic perdit miseros serpens discordia cives,
Corruit urbsque suo maxima saepe malo.

Pendant que sont les nauchers contendans,
La nef perist par tempeste & naufrage:
Pendant que sont entre soy discordans
Les Cytoyens, ilz sont mys en servage.
Notes:
1. Auster: the South Wind (as is Notus in the previous emblem).
