Piety [Hieroglyphically]

together with a kind and harmless nature, was represented by an elephant; because it is related that he worships every newmoon towards the heavens and expresses by his outward actions some sense of a supreme being; and because he is of so harmless a nature, that he never offends creatures that are not hurtful of themselves. He will march among innocent lambs, without offering the least injury to them; but if he be offended will spare nothing, and dread no danger to take revenge. It is also represented by a Stork, which see.
