Emblem 8. _Jam satis_,—“Already enough.” “Some trees, leafless, and torn up by the roots; with a confused landscape. Above, the sun, and a rainbow;” a note adds, “the most faire and bountiful queen of France Katherine used the sign of the rainbow for her armes, which is an infallible sign of peaceable calmeness and tranquillitie.”—Paradin. Paradin’s words, ed. 1562, leaf 38, are “_Madame Catherine, treschretienne Reine de France, a pour Deuise l’Arc celeste, ou Arc en ciel: qui est le vrai signe de clere serenité & tranquilité de Paix_.” Emblem 20. _Dum transis_, _time_,—“While thou art crossing, fear.” “A pilgrim traversing the earth: with a staff, and a light coloured hat, with a cockle shell in it.” In _Hamlet_, act iv. sc. 5, l. 23, vol. viii. p. 129,— “How should I your true love know From another one? By his cockle hat and staff, And his sandal shoon.” “Or,” remarks Sir John Cullum, “as he is described in Greene’s _Never too Late_, 1610;”— “With _Hat of straw_, like to a swain, Shelter for the sun and rain, With scallop-shell before.” Emblem 24. _Fronte nulla fides_,—“No trustworthiness on the brow.” The motto with a different device occurs in Whitney’s _Emblems_, p. 100, and was adopted by him from the Emblems of John Sambucus; edition Antwerp, 1564, p. 177. The device, however, in “the painted closet” was “a man taking the dimensions of his own forehead with a pair of compasses;” “a contradiction,” inaptly remarks Sir J. Cullum, “to a fancy of Aristotle’s that the shape and several other circumstances, relative to a man’s forehead, are expressive of his temper and inclination.” POVR CONGNOISTRE VN HOMME. FRONS HOMINEM PRAEFERT [Illustration: _Symeoni, 1561._] Upon this supposition Symeon,[79] before mentioned, has invented an Emblem, representing a human head and a hand issuing out of a cloud, and pointing to it, with this motto, _Frons hominem præfert_,—“The forehead shows the man.” Emblem 33. _Speravi et perii_,—“I hoped and perished;”—the device, “A bird thrusting its head into an oyster partly open.” A very similar sentiment is rather differently expressed by Whitney, p. 128, by Freitag, p. 169, and by Alciat, edition Paris, 1602, emb. 94, p. 437, from whom it was borrowed. Here the device is a mouse invading the domicile of an oyster, the motto, _Captivus ob gulam_,—“A prisoner through gluttony;” and the poor little mouse— “That longe did feede on daintie crommes, And safelie search’d the cupborde and the shelfe: At lengthe for chaunge, vnto an Oyster commes, Where of his deathe, he guiltie was him selfe: The Oyster gap’d, the Mouse put in his head, Where he was catch’d, and crush’d till he was dead.”
