Pedetentim

Here is today's emblem and distich by Gabriel Rollenhagen, Book 2:19, with an English rendering by George Wither. The poem is a variation on the famous Latin adage, festina lente.

Pedetentim
Per glaciem cautus pedetentim transeo, lente
Qui properat, tarde qui sapit, ille sapit.

His Pace, must wary be, and slow
That hath a Slippery-way to goe.

per - by, through, over
glacies - ice
cautus - cautious
transeo - go across, cross
lente - slowly, sluggishly
qui - who, which, that
