“_Nella giornata de Suizzeri, rotti presso à Milano dal Rè Francesco, Monsignor di San Valiere il Vecchio, padre di Madama la Duchessa di Valentinoys, e Capitano di cento Gentil’huomini della Casa del Rè, portò vno Stendardo, nel quale era dipinto vn torchio acceso con la testa in giù, sulla quale colaua tanta cera, che quasi li spegneua, con queste parole_, QVI ME ALIT, ME EXTINGVIT, _imitando l’impresa del Rè suo Padrone: cio è_, NVTRISCO ET EXTINGVO. _È la natura della cera, la quale è cagione che ’l torchio abbrucia stando ritto, che col capo in giù si spegne: volendo per ciò significare, che come la bellezza d’vna Donna, che egli amaua, nutriua tutti i suoi pensieri, così lo metteua in pericolo della vita. Vedesi anchora questo stendardo nella Chiesa de Celestini in Lyone._” Footnote 99: See _Essays Literary and Bibliographical_, pp. 301–2, and 311, in the Fac-simile Reprint of Whitney’s _Emblemes_, 1866. Footnote 100: “_Si pour esprouuer la fin Or, ou autre metaus, lon les raporte sus la Touche, sans qu’on se confie de leurs tintemens, ou de leurs sons, aussi pour connoitre les gens de bien, & vertueus personnages, se faut prendre garde à la splendeur de leurs œuures, sans s’arrester au babil._” Footnote 101: See _Symbola Diuina & Humana Pontificvm, Imperatorvm, Regvm_, 3 vols. folio in one, Franckfort, 1652. Footnote 102: This original drawing, with thirty-four others by the same artist, first appeared in _Emblemata Selectiora_, 4to, Amsterdam, 1704; also in _Acht-en-Dertig Konstige Zinnebeelden_,—“Eight-and-thirty Artistic Emblems,”—4to, Amsterdam, 1737. Footnote 103: Or it may be a few years later. The drawings, however, are undoubted from which the above woodcut has been executed. Footnote 104: This Emblem is dedicated to “GEORGE MANWARINGE _Esquier_,” son of “Sir Arthvre Menwerynge,” “of Ichtfeild,” in Shropshire, from whom are directly descended the Mainwarings of Oteley Park, Ellesmere, and indirectly the Mainwarings of Over-Peover, Cheshire. Footnote 105: The phrase is matched by another in _Much Ado about Nothing_ (act ii. sc. 1, l. 214, vol. ii. p. 22), when Benedict said of the Lady Beatrice, “O, she misused me past endurance of a block! an oak but with one green leaf on it would have answered her.” Footnote 106: “The sixth device,” say the _Illustrations of Shakespeare_, by Francis Douce, vol. ii. p. 127, “from its peculiar reference to the situation of Pericles, may, perhaps, have been altered from one in the same collection (Paradin’s), used by Diana of Poitiers. It is a green branch springing from a tomb, with the motto, ‘SOLA VIVIT IN ILLO,’”—_Alone on that she lives._ Footnote 107:
