Emblem. 16. Lubricus impiorum status.

Nahum. 3. 17.

The same in english.

As long as shadow doth remayne,
The Grashopper will sing:
But when the heat puts him to payne
Eftsoone, you see him flying.
So is it with the wicked traine,
VVhile things goe well they smile:
But afterward they cry amaine,
That did reioyce ere while.
