. Moral emblems : with aphorisms, adages, and proverbs, of all ages and nations, from Jacob Cats and Robert Farlie : with illustrations freely rendered, from designs found in their works . at Beauty yours, fair maid;Time oer that can caft no ftiade;And when wrinkled that fair brow,Twill be fairer far than now,—With a Beauty that fhall gainLafting Love in Gods domain. As for Man, his days are as grass : as a flower of the field, so he the wind passeth over it, and it is gone : and the pLice thereof shall know it noiioie.—Psalm ciii. 15, 16. FRETTINESS DIES QUICKLY. VANITY HAS NO GREATER FOE THAN ITSELF. UCH is lights love to Heaven, that ftill aboveIt mounts, and cannot to the center move;Hold you it under, it will upward through its ruinous body make a breach. Our foule doth bend our bodies ftraight and even, As with it felfe, it would them raife to Heaven ; But all in vaine it undergoes fuch toyle. The body will not leave its native foyle: Age puis it downe, and makes it ftoope full low, Till death doth give his fatall overthrow Then through the bodies breach the Soule doth rife. And like a conquerour, mount to the Ikyes. Farlies (S<&^£f£-s>s; EN AMOUR, EN COUR, ET A l_A CHASSE, Inter manuin et meiitum.
