For Samson:
A Trionfi scene:
At the left bottom we see Samson and Delilah (Delilah cutting the hair of Samson), at the right bottom is Aristoteles and Phyllis. A naked Hercules is at the left.
It's from this text:
This is the start page of a Petrarca "Trionfi" edition (with accompanying other texts) of ca 1465-1470.
The manuscript is offered by Christie's for ca $495,600 - $660,800 and there described:

It's made for members of the Visconti family in Milan (not the Sforzas), so we see the family heraldic of the dragon.
Special (Tarot) interests should belong to the (small) representation of Daphne + Apollo at the left border of the start page) ... it confirms, that the developing Daphne-Iconography (as a major topic of Renaissance art) in deciding manner was influenced from Milan (and perhaps the oldest of these Milanese Daphne appearances had been possibly the Michelino deck, the "oldest Tarot cards").
The Hercules of the Love Trionfi is possibly interesting, cause the Sforza card "Hercules with lion" (from the second artist of the Pierpont Morgan Bergamo Tarocchi) developed around the same time, at least according the 5x14-theory.
Hercules is mentioned as Ercole in the Trionfi text (Love chapter), though only short (as many others):
Colui ch'è seco è quel possente e forte
Ercole, ch'Amor prese; e l'altro è Achille,
ch'ebbe in suo amar assai dogliose sorte.
Achilles, which appears in thetext near to Ercole, is possibly the central armed man in the right group at the love Trionfi. The poem itself mentions many persons, and it seems, that neither Ercole or Achille get much attention, so it's remarkable, that the edition favours just this both figures - possibly, cause the figures are "very modern in Milan ca. 1465-70".
