Emblems and Epigrames is a collection of literary works by Francis Thynne, a 16th-century English writer and antiquary. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part containing a series of emblems - symbolic images accompanied by short texts - that explore themes such as love, death, and human nature. The second part consists of epigrams - brief, witty poems that often satirize social conventions and behaviors. Thynne's writing style is characterized by its wit, humor, and insight into human nature, making Emblems and Epigrames a fascinating read for those interested in early modern literature and culture. The book also includes detailed illustrations that enhance the visual impact of the emblems and add to the overall aesthetic appeal of the work.1876. The volume contains the wife-worried Thynne's opinions on wives-who're always necessary evils, the best is bad; who're good when they die of old age, better when they die after some time during your life, and best when they die at once-his lines on some of his friends and those of his patron Sir Thomas Egerton; and other topics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
