TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>This Emblem is a Torteise, whose owne shell<lb/>
                                Becomes that house, where he doth rent-free dwell;<lb/>
                                And, in what place soever hee resides,<lb/>
                                His Arched-Lodging, on his backe abides.<lb/>
                                There is, moreover, found a kind of these,<lb/>
                                That live both on the shore, and in the Seas;<lb/>
                                For which respects, the Torteise represents<lb/>
                                That man, who in himselfe, hath full contents;<lb/>
                                And (by the Vertues lodging in his minde)<lb/>

                                More usefull, and lesse lyable to stealth.<lb/>
                                If, any at his harmelesse person strike;<lb/>
                                Himselfe hee streight contracteth, Torteis-like,<lb/>
                                To make the Shell of Suffrance, his defence;<lb/>
                                And, counts it Life, to die with Innocence.<lb/>
