The Verb is King
VERBUM TERTIA PARS ORATIONIS: est quod cum tempore et persona sine casu agere aliquid/ aut pati aut neutrum significat. Et figuratur per Regem: quod subiecta figura & distichon adiunctum satis clare exprimit.
Rex verbum designat agens patiensque inimicos
nonnunque neutrum pace vigente gerens
The Verb is the Third Part of Speech: It is what signifies to do or suffer something or neither. It has tense and person, but not case, and is represented by a King. Which the figure below and the adjoining distich expresses clearly enough:
The king symbolizes the Verb, by acting on and being acted upon by enemies,
And sometimes by doing neither, when peace is strong.
