ELCE.
Holm-oak.
Chi voul l’Elce
piegar, per esser dura,
Si rompe e spezza: cosi
alcun Signore
Mentre d’esser
severo ha troppa cura,
E punir aspramente
il popol suole,
Pon la discordia, e la concordia fura,
Contrario effetto a
quel che brama e vuole;
Che non offende alturi cosi la legge,
Quanto la
leggerezza di chi regge.
