Emblema. 43. Sumptuosæ ædes.
Habitacula de nominibus suis vocant.
The same in English.
The walles doe rise,
As doe deuise
the Giants band,
The top so high
Doth reach the skie
wrought by their hand
As doe deuise
the Giants band,
The top so high
Doth reach the skie
wrought by their hand
This tower they make
For their owne sake
a name to get.
But God most iust,
Their ambitious lust,
and worke doth let.
For their owne sake
a name to get.
But God most iust,
Their ambitious lust,
and worke doth let.
For they off breake
While that they speake
with tongues vnknowen:
Their labour so is lost,
That build with cost,
to get renowne.
While that they speake
with tongues vnknowen:

That build with cost,
to get renowne.
They houses great
Build for their seat,
to win some fame.
But there do dwell
Birds and beasts fell,
and make their game.

Besides we see
That no family
diuided hath peace:
As by tongues strange,
Here is a change,
the work doth cease.
