Shall I tell you what this man is what trade he followed yonder, on his native island this Spanish hidalgo this all-accomplished gentleman lineal descendant of the Cid fine flower of Andalusian chivalry? It was not enough for him to cheat at cards, to float bubble companies, bogus lotteries.
'Philosophy and poetry, wrote Père le Moyne, 'history and fable, all that is taught in colleges, all that is learned in the world, are condensed and epitomised in this great pursuit; in short, if there be an art which requires an all-accomplished workman, that art is device-making. Ruscelli says: 'It belongs only to the most exquisite wits and best-refined judgments to undertake the making of devices. Yet, though the learned doctors of Padua, Wirtemberg, and the Sorbonne, engaged in deep disquisitions on the emblematical properties, natural and mythical, of cranes and crescents, sunflowers and salamanders, pelicans and porcupines the length and language of mottoes how the wind should be pictorially portrayed, with many other equally weighty considerations, still the chivalrous knights of the tournay, and the fair ladies of their devoirs, attained proficiency in the art.
