The cheife of gods, the mightie Ioue,

And in newe sort did beare a childe,

But when that wonderfull burthen,
to worlde he could not leaue,
The fierie god, the lame Vulcan,
with Axe his hed did cleave.

Then Armed Pallas lepped forth,
true wisdome by her kinde,
for not of fleshe doth wisdome growe,
but of the precious minde;

Some kinde of men there are, whose witt

As Pallas was from Ioue his hedd,
as doth this Embleme teache.
