Lewis the 12. King of France, as Duke of Or- leance by discent, and earle of Blosie, gaue the Procupine in his ensigne, with which simbole togither with the image of a Wolfe, the auncient Citie of Blosie was wont to blaze their ensignes. This is to be seene grauen in many stones and walls. Which beast nature hath so studiously furnished with weapons, that she may resist al those that withstand her, especially dogges, against whom she throweth her prickes like violent arrowes. The interpre- tation of which portraiture, the stately houses of a certaine noble citizen in that citie doe declare, at the entrance wherof, vnder the Porcupine these verses are found ingrauen in stone. These Dartes are peace to humble men, but warre to proud indeed: For why? both life and death also, from our woundes do proceed.
