An illustration from Moral emblems, with aphorisms, adages, and proverbs, of all ages and nations, 1862, leaf 217
fhes turne,And to a tedious fnuffe my light doth burne :Loe I have done, take thou this light of mine;I yeeld, doe what thou canft, the turne is thine.So the Comedian having plaid his mare,Gives place to others, who then actors are :A King his weighty office having done,Dying transfers his Scepter… … A FOOLISH WOMAN IS CLAMOROUS.
