The Oak
Emblema. 198.
Greca [=Grata]
Iovi est quercus, qui nos servatque, fovetque:
Servanti civem querna corona datur.[1]
Glande aluit[2] veteres,[3] sola nunc proficit umbra:
Sic quoque sic arbos officiosa Iovi [=Iovis]
.
The oak is pleasing to Jove who preserves and cherishes us. A crown of oak is given to one who preserves a fellow-citizen. The oak fed men of old with its acorns. Now it benefits us only with its shade. In this way too the tree of Jove does us service.
