Quantum Mutatus Ab Illo

Here is today's emblem and distich by Joachim Camerarius, 2:26. The tree in the emblem is a fig tree. According to Plutarch, the fig tree exudes a marvelous quality that tames and subdues even a wild bull if the bull is tied to the tree. The title is elegantly adapted from the famous words spoken by Aeneas in Vergil's Aeneid upon seeing the ghost of the dead Hector.
