such a cold nature that she quencheth the fire
like ise. Others write that she liueth, & is nori-
shed in the fire. I remember that I my selfe
haue seene the picture of this King in a small
forme, ingrauen in brasse: vpon whose backe
part was placed an effigie of a firie Salaman-
der with this inscription, Nutrisco il buono,
& spengo il reo, that is, I nourish the vertu-
ous, and destroy the wicked. The same haue
I seene also in diuers places vpon walles, and
namely at Fontem Bellaqueum, most liue-
ly polished and adorned in cloth of Tapestrie,
Arrase, and the like, with these verses.
The cruell Beare, the Eable swift,
and Snake that bites by day:
O Salamander to thy flame,
give place without delay.
