Emblems: a lantern burnt by its candle and a bagpipe in a clamp
Moral device on injury to others
Two emblematic drawings occupy the upper leaf: a lantern being burnt by the very candle it carries, and a bagpipe whose chanter and drone pipe are squeezed in a clamp. The lantern carries the moral 'One who injures others does not secure himself.' The bagpipe is drawn without an accompanying caption.

A lantern is consumed by the very candle it carries, glossed with the moral that one who injures others does not thereby make himself secure.
