NATIONAL MOTTOS
BY WILLIAM SHEPARD WALSH

way to Vergil "Moretum, poem ascribed
to that writer on fairly good authority, de
scribes species of pottage which forms at
once its title and its subject This was
made of various ingredients which the peas
ant grinds up in pestle. Est e pluribus
unum" Ut is one from many, sings the poet
The motto of the royal arms of England
"Dieu ct mon droit, has a disputed origin.
Some writer's attribute it to Richard L., who
adopted it to imply that he held his crown
from no other sovereign, but only by divine
permission and hereditary right. Others
affirm that it was first used by Edward III.
when he laid claim to the French crown in
right of his mother Isabella.
1t is certainly to Edward III. that Eng
land owes the existence of the Order of the
Garter with its motto, "Honi soft qui NAL V
pense, commonly but rather freely trans
lated as Evil to him who evil thinks.
\ more literal reading would be, "Shamcd
be he who thinks evil of it. :
The order was established on April %,
l349 This is indubitable; but it IS I'M
certain why the garter was selected as its
name and symbol, and what is the special
significance Of the motto. Polydore Vergil,
whose history appeared III 1896, nearly two
hundred years after the event, IS the earliest
authority for the familiar story that the
Countess OF Salisbury, one OF the h1nS
favorites, dropped her garter at a ball and
that Edward picked it up and handed it
back with the remark that is now proverb
ial Unfortunately for this story, it is
known that Honi soft qui NAL y pense was
familiar proverb long before Edward day.
The three feathers of the Prince of Wales,
with the German motto, Itch Diem" c'l
serve"), are supposed to be the arms of the
blind king of Bohemia whom Edward III s
son, the Black Prince overcame at Cressy.
The captor, it will be remembered, waited
in his own tent upon his captive. Hence a
special significance to the words, II serve. :
Once more. however, we have a story that
history refuses to accept. The triple plume
indeed, as well as feathers of various num-
bers, came into general use about the time
of Edward H. But it was not unknown
before that time. And even at that time
it was not the distinctive cognizance of the
Prince of Wales. Other members of the
royal family bore it as well as he. Not till
the reign of Henry VII. was the triple
plume within coronet restricted to the
eldest son of the sovereign.
