"A proscenium curtain is drawn to conceal a figure whose hand has written on a scroll the words 'Mente Videbor' ('By the mind I shall be seen.') On the bays surrounding the emblem are words in Latin meaning 'One lives in one's genius, other things pass away in death.' The laurel signifies that poetic genius is intended. In the background appears Parnassus-- 'the bi-cliff hill' of the Muses"
    This emblem appears on the title page of Henry Peacham's Minerva Britanna or A Garden of Heroical Devises , which was published in England in 1612. The book also contains an emblem explicitly dedicated to Francis Bacon.
