Emblem. 91. De Aquila: Vbi cadaver iaceat eò congregautur aquilæ.
M. Christophero Goad.
The same in English.
The Elephant of beastes most strong
The Whale is chiefe the fish among,
The eagle so with wings full long,
doth all fowle surpasse.
The Whale is chiefe the fish among,
The eagle so with wings full long,
doth all fowle surpasse.
Shee from aloft doth east her eies,
Her pray to get shee doth deuise,
The same shee watchfull is and wise
at length to compasse.
Her pray to get shee doth deuise,
The same shee watchfull is and wise
at length to compasse.
Such of our mindes should be the sight
That we with setled eyes thus might,
Behold what is in heauens bright,
layde vp in store.
That we with setled eyes thus might,
Behold what is in heauens bright,
layde vp in store.
Shee doth the carcase soone espy
And with her young ones company
Com'th downe, and on her pray doth lye
with talents sore,
And with her young ones company
Com'th downe, and on her pray doth lye
with talents sore,
We ought to haue all the like minde,
Our Sauiour Christ to seeke and finde,
Him to desire, as doth food kinde
the stomacke craue.
