Emblem. 97. Bestiarum prudentia.
The same in English.
The conye, spider and grassehopperwith th'ant these fower,
Of wit some strength, though small and proper
they haue and power.
The ant doth gather in sommer tide,
meate for her vse,
The wise man all things doth prouide
In rocke rhe conie her selfe to saue
doth build most sure,
So we in heauen an house must haue
which may endure,
The grassehoppers by rankes you see
to leape in field:
So men ought iointly to agree
and in heart yeild.
The spider euen in princes place
her web doth spin:
So a wise man with prince find'th grace
and doth come in.
