Margaret Queene of Nauarre vsed a most solemne signe, namely the marigold, whose colour resembleth so neere the colour of the sonne, as almost nothing more. For what way so euer the sunne goethe, it followeth it: it ope- neth and shutteth it selfe at the rising and fal- ling of the sunne, according to his ascending or descending. This godly Queene chose this kind of simbole, that she might euident- ly expresse, how that she referred all her co- gitations, affections, vowes, words & deedes to almightie God, onely wise, and euerla- sting, as one that meditated vpon heauenly things with all her heart.
