Emblem. 100. Peccati fibræ.
The Translation.
The blacke Moore will not change his skin,
Nor Leopard his spotte,
So he that doth delight in sinne,
Shall still retayne a blotte.
VVhat's writ in brasse can not soone perish
And stonie harts doe sinne long cherish.
Nor Leopard his spotte,
So he that doth delight in sinne,
Shall still retayne a blotte.
VVhat's writ in brasse can not soone perish
And stonie harts doe sinne long cherish.
So gentle reader if thou finde
Ought worthie here thine eare:
As grauen in brasse, so you in minde
What well is said, may beare.
But if my verse doe chaunce to misse,
Forgiue the fault, a scape it is.
