Our lamp is spent, it’s out.”
Similar the meaning when Antony said (act iv. sc. 14, l. 46, vol. ix. p. 123),—
“Since the torch is out,
Lie down and stray no farther.”
Of the Emblems which depict moral qualities and æsthetical principles, scarcely any are more expressive than that which denotes an abiding sense of injury. This we can trace through Whitney (p. 183) to the French of Claude Paradin (fol. 160), and to the Italian of Gabriel Symeoni (p. 24). It is a sculptor, with mallet and chisel, cutting a memorial of his wrongs into a block of marble; the title, Of offended Poverty, and the motto, “Being wronged he writes on marble.”
DI POVERTA
OFFESA.
Giovio and Symeoni, 1562.
