“The Sun, the eye of heaven, with beams the world illumes, And the pale Moon afar scatters black night. So virtue, the soul’s sun, our pining senses illumes, And genial faith dispels the darkness of the mind. If virtue to the mind,—so leading the way to virtue shines Faith in her purity: nothing can be brighter than this. The golden splendour of virtue and faith, O Philip, Throwing out beamings, shows to thee paths to the sky. This in truth is the Sun of life, and the one Light-bringer, This in truth the Moon which by shining drives away night. While in thy mind these lights thou seest on high,—of the world The darkness and terrors untrembling thou dost behold. Sun and Moon and the Light-bringer flash light to their orbs, And the while on thee shine, too, virtue and faith.” Footnote 94: Of cognate meaning is Messin’s motto in Boissard’s _Emblems_, 1588, pp. 82–3, “Plvs par vertv qve par armes,”—_Plus virtute quàm armis_,—the device being a tyrant, with spearmen to guard him, but singeing his beard because he was afraid of his barber,— “Et vuyde d’asseurance, il aymoit fier La façon de son poil au charbon, qu’au barbier Tant l’injustice au cœur ente de meffiance.” Footnote 95: See _Penny Cyclopædia_, vol. xxi. p. 343, where the _Pericles_ and eight other plays are assigned “to the period from Shakspere’s early manhood to 1591. Some of those dramas may possibly then have been created in an imperfect state, very different from that in which we have received them. If the _Titus Andronicus_ and _Pericles_ are Shakspere’s, they belong to this epoch in their first state, whatever it might have been.” See also Knight’s _Pictorial Shakspere_, supplemental volume, p. 119, where, as before mentioned, the opinion is laid down,—“We think that the _Pericles_ of the beginning of the seventeenth century was the revival of a play written by Shakspere some twenty years earlier.” Footnote 96: It may be mentioned that Paradin describes five other Roman wreaths of honour. Footnote 97: Symeoni, in 1559, dedicated “All’ Illustrissima Signora Duchessa di Valentinois,” his “VITA ET METAMORFOSEO D’OVIDIO,” 8vo, containing 187 pages of devices, with beautiful borders.
