The Salamander lying in the fire, was the badge or Cognizance of Frances king of France. Which worme, Plinie writeth, is of Plinie. 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.
