Summary

Description
English: double page with Emblem from Mikrokosmos = Parvus mundus. Emblems, engraved by Gèrard de Jode, with verses by Laurentius Haechtanus [Haecht Goidtsenhoven, Laurens van]. Antwerpen: de Jode, 1579. This is emblem # 15: Sine Cerere et Baccho friget Venus. Translation of explanation:
Say, Cytherean Venus with your Cupid: Why are you are warming your hands and your feet? Is it because eloquent Iacchos is not there to help you? And dusty Ceres is not around either? Where sobriety reigns, pernicious lust freezes and does not start wars against the Curii [i.e. moderate men]. Wherever drunkenness reigns and abundance, the mother of adultery wages abominable wars.
Deutsch: Doppelseite mit Emblem aus dem Mikrokosmos = Parvus mundus. Embleme, graviert von Gèrard de Jode, mit Versen von Laurentius Haechtanus [Haecht Goidtsenhoven, Laurens van]. Antwerpen: de Jode, 1579. Dies ist Emblem Nr. 15: Sine Cerere et Baccho friget Venus. Übersetzung:
Sag, kythereische Venus mitsamt Cupido: Warum wärmst du dir selbst die Füße, wärmst dir die Hände? Etwa, weil dir der wortgewandte Iakchos nicht beisteht? Die staubige Ceres ist auch nicht da? Wo Nüchternheit herrscht, da friert die schädliche Lust und fängt keine Kriege gegen die Curier [d. h. maßvolle Männer] an. Wo immer die mächtige Trunkenheit und Überfluss herrscht, da beginnt die Mutter des Ehebruchs ruchlose Kriege.
