Matura

Here is today's emblem and distich by Gabriel Rollenhagen, Book 1.18, with an English rendering by George Wither. As you can see, the spider is lying in wait for the butterfly; unless it makes haste, the spider will catch that butterfly - it needs to use its wings swiftly to fly away!

Matura
Matura: mora longa nocet; spes omnis in alis;
Instat qui te vult prendere, papilio.

From thence, where Nets and Snares are layd,
Make-hast; lest els you be betray'd.
