Description
Imagine del Buono Evento & felice sucesso, del Favore instabile, lieve, & caduco, dell'Adulatione & dell'Invidia, che spingono & accompagnano detto Favore, & l'imagine della ruota volubile della Fortuna, sopra laquele il detto Favore riposa i piedi e casca al suo girare, effetto che si vede per ordinario nelle Corti e nel Mondo.
(Image of the Good Event and the happy success, of the unstable, light and ephemeral Favour, of Adulation and Envy, which push and accompany the said Favour, and image of the versatile wheel of Fortune, on which the said Favour rests its feet and falls as it turns, an effect that is ordinarily seen in the Courts and in the World.)
The unstable, winged but blind Favour mounted on a wheel is surrounded on the left by Success, holding the ear of prosperity, by envy with flabby breasts, gnawing at her hands, and on the right by adulation, accompanied by her faithful dog.
