(Fly in between, in the middle you will go most safely) // Qui fuit ut tutas agitaret Daedalus alas? / Icarus immensas nomine signet aquas? // Nempe quod hic alté demissius ille volabat: / Nam pennas ambo non nabuere suas. (How is it possible that Daedalus could safely move his wings back and forth? [How did it happen that] Icarus gave his name to the vast waters? This was of course because he flew high and the other lower; for neither had feathers of his own.) // Petrus Breugel fec: Romae A[nn]o 1553. / Excud: Houf: cum prae: Caes:
