Black and white emblem, from page 162 of the first emblem book, called Emblemata Libre. Emblem shows a dolphin washed ashore with a ship at sea in the background. Top caption translates to: "On one who perished through the savagery of his own people." Bottom caption is in Latin; in translation, it states: "I am a dolphin whom the tide drove ashore against my will, an example showing what great dangers there are in the treacherous sea. For if Neptune does not spare even his own nurslings, who can think that men are safe in ships?"
