Emblem. 69. Dum spiro spero.
The same in English.
Mvch beter is, then Lion dead
A dogg that liueth and doth breath,
The Lion which the beasts did dread,
Now voide of strength doth lye beneath,
The dogg doth breath and is aliue,
The shrubs though low, which spring & thriue,
The cedars tale cutt downe suruiue:
A dogg that liueth and doth breath,
The Lion which the beasts did dread,
Now voide of strength doth lye beneath,
The dogg doth breath and is aliue,
The shrubs though low, which spring & thriue,
The cedars tale cutt downe suruiue:
Euen so who life doth yet enioy,
Though poore, much better is his case,
Then he whose carcase death doth annoye
Depriued of his honourable place:
For whilest that breath and life doe last,
Hope out of doores is not yet cast,
But death doth all thinges soone lay wast.
Though poore, much better is his case,
Then he whose carcase death doth annoye
Depriued of his honourable place:
