Sacrorvm Emblematvm Centuria Una | ||
EMBLEM. I. Boni Principis encomium.
The same in English.
Behould a tree,
both broad and fayre,
the beastes agree,
thither to repayre:
the birds likewise,
here build their nest,
after their guise,
there for to rest.
Such is a King,
that carefull is,
who doth his bring
all ioy and blis:
as is the shade,
to cattell goood,
and birds nests made,
among the wood.
The Rulers face,
so shineth with grace.
