Le Coing.[1]

A la nouvelle espouse donnoit l’on
Jadis des Coings, par la loy de Solon.[2]
Bons sont au coeur: & rendent bonne aleine
Pour bien penser: sans parolle villaine.

Les Coings confortent le coeur, & inspirent douce
aleine à la bouche. Et d’iceulx les presens jadis faictz
aux nouvelles espouses, les admonnestoient de avoir le
coeur net en bonne, & honneste pensée: & la bouche de
bonne odeur, en pudiques, & honnestes parolles.

Notes:

1.  The woodcut here is a fairly close, laterally inverted, copy of that used in the 1549 French edition.
