Emblem 23

That foresight is improved by wine

Father Bacchus and Pallas, both true children of Jupiter, hold this temple jointly. She was freed from her father's head, he from his thigh; to Pallas is due the use of the olive, while Bacchus first discovered wine. Justly are they joined; for if an abstemious man hates wine, he'll have no help from the goddess.
