Quem Genuit, Perdit

Here is today's emblem and distich by Joachim Camerarius, 4:11. As you can see, the poor dolphin is doomed, having been beached on dry land. Camerarius has based his emblem on an epigram from the Greek anthology, attributed to Antipater of Thessalonica (7.216), in which a beached dolphin laments the fact that the sea, his own parent and fatherland, has exiled him on dry land.

Saepe etiam civis fert bonus exilium.
