Atalanta Fugiens · 1618 · Emblem XLVIII
Rex ab aquis potatis morbum, a medicis curatus sanitatem obtinet.
The king, made ill by the waters he drank, is cured by the physicians and regains his health.
The king falls ill from what he took in, and is healed with help from outside. Not everything is cured alone.
What have you taken in that made you ill, and who could help?
