Lucretius, 1982: "Postremo cur sancta deum delubra suasque / discutit infesto praeclares fulmine sedes, / et bene facta deum frangit simulacra suisque / demit imaginibus violento volnere honorem? Christe, terrarum fabricator ingens Orbis, humani et generis, timent quem Cuncta, qui necnon homines trisulco Fulmine terres; Quas tibi laudes meritis canemus, Quae modo prestas, Pater alme, nobis, Possumus quales precibusque nostris Reddere grates. It was a common emblem and could indicate many things, but if carried by Cardinal Alessandro, Caro explained that the thunderbolts signified the power of governing which Pope Paul III had given to his grandson, "significasse la potesta che 'l Papa le diede del governo, per essere il fulmine dedicato a Giove, il quale significa il Papa. |
