Comparison was considered an essential property of a perfect device. Thus the Pillars of Hercules, with the motto, _Plus ultra_ (Morebeyond), adopted by Charles V. , in allusion to the Spanish discoveriesand conquests in America, and still to be seen on the coin of thatnation, was, by the connoisseurs, termed a mere conceit. The scholar'stwo pens, with _His ad aethera_ (By these fame), being also devoid ofcomparison, was equally inferior. Not more than three figures werepermissible in the emble...m, unless the greater number were of the samespecies. A device portraying an elephant, with a flock of sheepgrazing quietly around, the motto, _Infestus infestis_ (Hostile onlyto the wicked), was strictly correct, as the sheep, being all of onespecies, were recognised merely as one figure. Metaphor was notallowed in the motto: a device faulty in this respect, represented aball of crystal, the motto, from Plautus, _Intus et in cute_ (The samewithin and without); crystal being devoid of skin (_cutis_), theexpression was metaphorical.
