If it be foe, fondling, how dar’st thou trust it?

EMBLEMA.

Friend faber, cast me a round hollow ball,

Blown full of wind, for emblem of this All;

Adorn it fair, and flourish every part

With flowers and fruits, with brooks, beasts, fish, and fowl,

With rarest cunning of thy curious art: 5

And grave in gold, about my silver bowl,

Thus rolls the world, the idol of mankind,
