| Description: |
Emblem of a man (a king?) wearing a crown of flames and holding an orb marked 'Sol' in the centre of a radiating Tudor Rose inscribed with verses 'Ex paterno trono radii splendoris/ ex matre candor virginii decoris/ ex patre flos rubi coloris / ex utroque redemptio nostri amoris', and tears dropping onto an eye weeping onto a word 'cor', with Percy badge of a crescent, and a scroll bearing an inscription reading, 'I receyue noo lighte but of thy bearmes bright. The light / benevoulent causith cor to relent for remembrynge / thy goodenes contenuall which remanith perpetuall / Cor cannot but of duti he muste distill yet he saith dutie / cannot recompence a cordinge too his goode will'. |
