Colins Embleme.
[Vivitur ingenio, caetera mortis erunt.]
Embleme.
The meaning wherof is that all thinges perish and come to theyr last end, but workes of learned wits and monuments of Poetry abide for euer. And therefore Horace of his Odes a work though ful indede of great wit and learning, yet of no so great weight and importaunce boldly sayth.
Exegi monimentum ære perennius,Quod nec imber nec aquilo vorax &c.
