Mon mal me suit. Quo fugis ah demens? sequitur te pæna, sequuntur. Jumentum ut scabræ pondera dura molæ. Jacques de Gheyn II, Théâtre d'amour (c.1600) Plate 26.
A blindfolded horse turns the wheel of a mill ,with Cupid seated on its back, peering at his head; in the interior of a circular room with narrow windows; Cupid holds his bow in his left hand.
This is the twenty-second emblem from Daniel Heinsius' emblem book 'Quaeris quid sit Amor...'. Emblem 35 from Maurice Scève's 'Délie' is the source of Heinsius' emblem, who has replaced the donkey with a horse ridden by Cupid.
