Reusner adopts this first line from Ovid’s _Fable of the Phœnix_ (_Metam._, bk. xv. 37. l. 3),— “Sed thuris lacrymis, & succo vivit amomi.” Footnote 166: To render it still more useful, the words should receive something of classification, as in Cruden’s _Concordance to the English Bible_, and the _number_ of the _line_ should be given as well as of the _Act_ and _Scene_. Footnote 167: The whole stanza as given on the last page, beginning with the line,— “The Pellican, for to reuiue her younge,” is quoted in Knight’s “PICTORIAL SHAKSPERE” (vol. i. p. 154), in illustration of these lines from _Hamlet_ concerning “the kind life-rendering pelican.” The woodcut which Knight gives is also copied from Whitney, and the following remark added,—“Amongst old books of emblems there is one on which Shakspere himself might have looked, containing the subjoined representation. It is entitled ‘A Choice of Emblemes and other Devices by Geffrey Whitney, 1586.’” Knight thus appears prepared to recognise what we contend for, that Emblem writers were known to Shakespeare. Footnote 168: Virgil’s _Æneid_ (bk. xii. 412–414), thus expressed in Dryden’s rendering, will explain the passage; he is speaking of Venus,— “A branch of healing dittany she brought: Which in the Cretan fields with care she sought: Rough is the stem, which wooly leafs surround; The leafs with flow’rs, the flow’rs with purple crown’d.” See also Joachim Camerarius, _Ex Animalibus Quadrup._ (ed. 1595, Emb. 69, p. 71). Footnote 169: In Haechtan’s _Parvus Mundus_ (ed. 1579), Gerard de Jode represents the sleeping place as “sub tegmine fagi,”—but the results of the mistake as equally unfortunate with those in Bellay and Whitney. Footnote 170: See “ARCHÆOLOGIA,” vol. xxxv. 1853, pp. 167–189; “Observations on the Origin of the Division of Man’s Life into Stages. By John Winter Jones, Esq.” Footnote 171: It may be noted that the Romans understood by _Pueritia_ the period from infancy up to the 17th year; by _Adolescentia_, the period from the age of 15 to 30; by _Juventus_, the season of life from the 20th to the 40th year. _Virilitas_, manhood, began when in the 16th year a youth assumed the _virilis toga_, “the manly gown.” Footnote 172: Soon after Whitney’s time this emblem was repeated in that very odd and curious volume; “Stamm Buch, Darinnen Christliche Tugenden Beyspiel Einhundert ausserlesener _Emblemata_, mit schönen Kupffer-stücke geziener:” Franckfurt-am-Mayn, Anno MDCXIX. 8vo, pp. 447. At p. 290, Emb. 65, with the words “UBI ES?” there is the figure of Adam hiding behind a tree, and among descriptive stanzas in seven or eight languages, are some intended to be specimens of the language at that day spoken and written in Britain:—
