“tu regibus alas Eripe.” iv. 106. And,— “ipsæ regem parvosque Quirites Sufficiunt, aulasque ei cerea regna refingunt.” iv, 201. Footnote 157: At a time even later than Shakespeare’s the idea of a king-bee prevailed; Waller, the poet of the Commonwealth, adopted it, as in the lines to Zelinda,— “Should you no honey vow to taste But what the master-bees have placed In compass of their cells, how small A portion to your share will fall.” In Le Moine’s _Devises Heroiqves et Morales_ (4to, Paris, 1649, p. 8) we read, “Du courage & du conseil au Roy des abeilles,”—and the creature is spoken of as a male. Footnote 158: To mention only Joachim Camerarius, edition 1596, _Ex Volatilibus_ (Emb. 29–34); here are no less than five separate devices connected with Hawking or Falconry. Footnote 159: Take an example from the Paraphrase in an old Psalter: “The arne,” _i.e._ the eagle, “when he is greved with grete elde, his neb waxis so gretely, that he may nogt open his mouth and take mete: hot then he smytes his neb to the stane, and has away the slogh, and then he gaes til mete, and he commes yong a gayne. Swa Crist duse a way fra us oure elde of syn and mortalite, that settes us to ete oure brede in hevene, and newes us in hym.” Footnote 160: The Virgin, in Brucioli’s _Signs of the Zodiac_, as given in our Plate XIII., has a unicorn kneeling by her side, to be fondled. Footnote 161: The wonderful curative and other powers of the horn are set forth in his _Emblems_ by Joachim Camerarius, _Ex Animalibus Quadrupedibus_ (Emb. 12, 13 and 14). He informs us that “Bartholomew Alvianus, a Venetian general, caused to be inscribed on his banner, _I drive away poisons_, intimating that himself, like a unicorn putting to flight noxious and poisonous animals, would by his own warlike valour extirpate his enemies of the contrary factions.” Footnote 162: See the fable of the Wolf and the Ass from the _Dialogues of Creatures_ (pp. 53–55 of this volume). Footnote 163: See p. 11 of J. Payne Collier’s admirably executed Reprint of “THE PHŒNIX NEST,” from the original edition of 1593. Footnote 164: There are similar thoughts in Shakespeare’s _Phœnix and Turtle_ (Works, lines 25 and 37, vol. ix. p. 671),— “So they loved, as love in twain Had the essence but in one; Two distincts, division none, Number there in love was slain.” And,— “Property was thus appalled, That the self was not the same; Single nature’s double name Neither two nor one was called.” Footnote 165:
