Shakespeare and the Emblem Writers / an exposition of their similarities of throught and expression, preceded by a view of emblem-literature down to A.D. 1616

by Henry Green

Æacidæ moriens percussu cuspidis Hector

Qui toties hosteis vicerat ante suos;

Comprimere haud potuit vocem, insultantibus illis,

Dum curru & pedibus nectere vincla parant.

Distrahite vt libitum est: sic cassi luce leonis

Conuellunt barbam vel timidi lepores.

Thus rendered by Whitney (p. 127), with the same device,—

Cùm laruis non luctandum.
