Alciato, Andrea: Livret des emblemes (1536)
Custodiendas virgines.
Girls must be guarded
Girl holding staff with a dragon at her feet
Vera haec effigies[1] innuptae est Palladis, eius
Hic draco, qui dominae constitit ante pedes.
Cur divae comes hoc animal? custodia rerum
Huic data, sic lucos sacraque templa colit.[2]
Innuptas opus est cura asservare puellas
Pervigili, laqueos undique tendit amor.[3]
This is the true image of virgin Pallas. Her snake is here, positioned at his mistress’s feet. Why does this creature accompany the goddess? The task of guarding things was entrusted to it, and so it looks after groves and sacred temples. It is necessary to guard unmarried girls with ever-watchful care - Love lays his snares on every side.
