Dibdin, in his _Bibliomania_, p. 331, adduces an instance; he says, “In the PRAYER-BOOK which goes by the name of QUEEN ELIZABETH’S, there is a portrait of her Majesty kneeling, upon a superb cushion, with elevated hands, in prayer. This book was first printed in 1575, and is decorated with woodcut borders of considerable spirit and beauty, representing, among other things, some of the subjects of Holbein’s _Dance of Death_.” Footnote 84: Amplified by Whitney, p. 108, _Respice, et prospice_, “Look back, and look forward.” “THE former parte, nowe paste, of this my booke, The seconde parte in order doth insue: Which, I beginne with IANVS double looke, That as hee sees, the yeares both oulde, and newe, So, with regarde, I may these partes behoulde, Perusinge ofte, the newe, and eeke the oulde And if, that faulte within vs doe appeare, Within the yeare, that is alreadie donne, As IANVS biddes vs alter with the yeare, And make amendes, within the yeare begonne, Even so, my selfe suruayghinge what is past; With greater heede, may take in hande the laste.” Footnote 85: We subjoin the old French,— “LE Dieu Ianus iadis à deux visages, Noz anciẽs ont pourtraict & trassé, Pour demõstrer que l’aduis des gẽs sages. Vis[e/] au futur aussi bien qu’ au passé, Tout temps doibt estr[e/] en effect cõpassé, Et du passé auoir la recordance, Pour au futur preueoir en providence, Suyuant vertu en toute qualité. Qui le fera verra par euidence, Qu’il pourra viure en grãd tranquillité.” Footnote 86: The illustration we immediately choose is from Sym. cxxxvii. p. cccxiiii. of Achilles Bocchius, edition Bologna, 1555, with the motto— “ARS RHETOR, TRIPLEX MOVET, IVVAT, DOCET, SED PRÆPOTENS EST VERITAS DIVINITVS. SIC MONSTRA VITIOR, DOMAT PRVDENTIA.” Rhetoric’s art threefold, it moves, delights, instructs, But powerful above all is truth of heaven inspired. So the monsters of our vices doth wisdom’s self subdue. Footnote 87: See _Les Emblemes de Maistre Andre Alciat, mis en rime françoyse_, Paris, 1540. Footnote 88: The device, however, of this Emblem is copied from Symeoni’s _Vita et Metamorfoseo d’Ovidio_, Lyons, 1559, p. 72; as also are some others used by Reusner. Footnote 89: In _Troilus and Cressida_, act i. sc. 3, l. 39, vol. vi. p. 142, we read,— “Anon beheld The strong-ribb’d bark through liquid mountains cut, Bounding between the two moist elements, Like Perseus’ horse.” Footnote 90: The description and quotations are almost identical with the Whitney _Dissertations_, pp. 294–6.
