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.
