HELLERA.
Ivy
Fu de Poeti gia degna corona
L’Hellera. questa è pallida,
& anchora
Pallido è chi per bere in Helicona
Suda mai sempre, e
s’affatica
ogn’hora.
Ella per tempo mai non abbandona
L’honor
de le
sue foglie: e qui dimora
Dopo la morte in ogni estremo lido
Del ben
dotto Poeta eterno il grido,

The box-tree
Perpetuo viridis, crispoque cacumine buxus,
Unde est disparibus fistula facta modis,[1]
Deliciis apta est teneris, & amantibus arbor.
Pallor inest illi, pallet & omnis amans.
[2]
The box-tree is evergreen, with crinkly shoots. From it was made the pipe with its variously pitched notes. It is a tree appropriate to tender delights and to lovers. Box-wood is pale and so is every lover.
