Black and white emblem from page 32 of the first emblem book, called Emblemata Libre. Top caption says: "On the avaricious; or being treated better by strangers." Bottom caption states: "Astride a dolphin, Arion cleaves the dark blue waves, and with this song charms the creature's ears and muzzles its mouth: 'The mind of wilde beasts is not so savage as that of greedy man. We who are saved by men are saved by fish.'"
