Primus at Imperio Servus b ICH DIEN Anagramma HIC IN DE regit TO THE RIGHT HIGH AND MIGHTIE HENRIE ELDEST SONNE OF our Soveraigne Lord the KING Prince of Wales DVKE of CORNWALL and ROTHSAY and Knight of the most noble order of the GARTER MOST EXELLENT PRINCE Hauing by more then ordinarie signes tasted h●eretofore of your gratious favour and evidently knowen your Princely and Generous inclination to all good Learning and excellencie I am emboldened once againe to offer vp at the Altar of your gratious acceptance these mine Emblemes a weake I confesse and a worthlesse Sacrifice though an assured pledge of that Zeale and Duetie I shall for ever most Religiouslie owe vnto your Highnes shewing herein rather a will to desire then worth to deserue so peerelesse a patronage Howsoever the world shall esteeme them in regard of their rude and homely attire for the most part they are Roially discended and repaire into your owne bosome farre from the reach of Envie for their protection For in truth they are of right your owne and no other then the substance of those Divine Instructions his Maiestie your Royall Father praescribed vnto you your guide as that golden branch to AENEAS AEneid● 6. to a vertuous true happy life It is now two yeares since I presēted vnto your Highnes some of them then done by me into Latine verse with their pictures drawen and limned by mine owne hand in their liuely coulours wherein as neere as I could I obserued the Method of his Maiesties BASILICON DORON but by reason of the great number I had since that newly invented with some others collected tieng my inven●●on to ●o one Subiect as before I am here constrained aswell of Necessitie as for varietie sake to intermixe as it were promiscuè one with the other in one entire volume the rather because of their affinitie end which is one and the selfe same that is the fashioning of a vertuous minde I dare not discourse at large vnto your Highnes of the manifold Vse Nature Libertie and ever esteemed exellencie of this kind of Poesie it being the rarest and of all others the most ingenious and wherein the greatest Princes of the world many times haue most happily exercised their Invention because I doubt not but your Highnes already knoweth whatsoever I might speak herein Onely what I haue done I most humbly offer vp the same vnto your gratious view and protection Desiring of GOD to beautifie and enrich your most hopefull Heroique minde with the divinest giftes of his grace and knowledge heartily wishing there were any thing in me worthy of the least favour and respect of so excellent a Prince To your Highnes The most sincerely and affectionately devoted in all dutie and service HENRY PEACHAM To the Reader I haue heere kind Reader sent abroad vnto thy view this volume of Emblemes whether for greatnes of the chardge or that the Invention is not ordinarie a Subiect very rare For except the collections of Master Whitney and the translations of some one or two else beside I know not an Englishman in our age that hath published any worke of this kind they being I doubt not as ingenious and happy in their invention as the best French or Italian of them all Hence perhaps they terme vs Tramontani Sempii Simple and of dull conceipt when the fault is neither in the Climate nor as they would haue it in the constitution of our bodies but truely in the cold frozen respect of Learning and artes generally amongst vs comming far shorte of them in the iust valewing of well deseruing qualities To begin at the foote of their Alpes and so discend by Germanie which Bodine truly termeth officinam hominum a shoppe of absolute men for all Artes how she hath excelled in this as in all other rare Invention witnesse the many volumes she hath sent vs over of this Subiect With what excellent Bodies and Motto's haue the Netherlandes especially Holland and Zealand vpon sundry occasions as the recoverie of their Libertie the overthrow in eighty eight and the like commended their Invention to the world as we finde in Meteranus and others I should seeme partiall if I should lay to your view the many and almost vnimitable Impresa's of our owne Countrie as those of Edward the black Prince Henry the fourth Henry the seuenth Henry the eight Sir Thomas Moore the Lord Cromwell of later times those done by Sir Phillip Sydney and others Nor were it needefull since their Memory is fresh and many of their sheildes yet scarce drie in the world Who hath ever seene more wittie proper significant devises then those of Scotland to omit more auntient times as that of King Iames the third devising for himselfe to expresse the care he had of his country and People a Hen sitting over her Chickens with the word Non dormit qui custodit as also of Iames the fowrth taking to himselfe a bifront or double face plac't vpon the top of a Columne the heades crowned with Laurell the word Vtrumque meaning as it is thought he would constantly and advisedly like Ianus obserue the proceedings aswell of the French as the English holding them both at that time in Ielousie Many and very excellent haue I seene of his Maiesties owne Invention who hath taken herein in his yonger years great delight and pleasure by which thou maiest see that we are not so dull as they would imagine vs nor our Soile so barren as that we neede to borrow from their Sunne-burnt braines our best Invention Whereas I haue heere dedicated many Emblemes to sundry and great Personages yea some to Forraigne Princes I haue heerein but imitated the best approued Authours in this kind as Alciat Sambucus Iunius Reusnerus and others they being such as either in regard of their transcendent dignitie and vertues deserue of all to be honoured or others whome for their excellent parts and qualities I haue ever loued and esteemed or lastly some of my private friendes to whome I haue in particular beene most beholden some way or other Wherein I trust thou wilt not condemne me since I haue no other meane then by word to shew a thankfull minde towards them It is not my intent here which I might well doe to diseourse at large of the Nature and Libertie of Embleme wherein it differeth from the Impresa because heerein I haue beene alreadie prevented by Paulns Iovius Sambucus Mr. Sam. Daniell others The true vse heereof from time to time onely hath beene Vtile dulci miscere to feede at once
