L’Amendelier.
Apostrophe.
Amendelier, Pourquoy si tost floris?
Trop bons ne sont les trop prompts esperitz.[1]
L’Amendelier est le premier
arbre qui fleurit, &
celluy qui plustost perit. Aussi
les trop hastifz
esperitz (comme dict Quintilian) à grand peine
jamais parviennent à fruyct.
1. See Quintilian (Fabius Quintilianus), Institutio oratoria, 1.3.3: ‘the precocious type of intellect never easily comes to fruition’.
