Sacrorvm Emblematvm Centuria Una | ||
EMBLEM. 7. Piorum conditio.
The same in english.
Then mountaines what can stronger bee?They doe remaine so sure,
The earth thou sooner moued shalt see,
It can not so endure.
The mountaines one may soone descrie,
Although he be not neere,
A citie who can not espie,
That doth aloft appeare?
The hils which are so neere to skie,
The tempest first doth take,
The regions which are set so hie,
The wind doth soonest shake.
The righteous sort may be compared
Vnto a loftie hill,
Whose state can no waies be empaired,
As th'other standeth still.
And like he is in that his life,
Who soonest is pursued with strife.
As winde on hill hath power.
