Sacrorvm Emblematvm Centuria Una quae tam ad exemplum aptae expressaunt & ad aspectum pulchrae depingi possunt, quam quae aut a veteribus accepta, aut inventa ab alijs hactenus extant. In tres classes distributa [by Andrew Willet] |
Sacrorvm Emblematvm Centuria Una | ||
Emblema. 50. Pepigicum oculis meis.
The same in English.
The king after noneWalking in the sunne,
A woman did espie,
Bathing thereby,
With beautie shee tooke,
The king as with hooke:
His eyes he doth feed,
To his wish taking heed
It to obtaine,
He causeth ones bayne:
Slougth caused this:
When our eies go amisse,
And affections straye,
Open lieth a way
To euill, without stay.
