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,

Ilex.
The holm-oak
EMBLEMA CCV.
Duritie nimia[1] quòd sese rumperet ilex,
Symbola civilis seditionis habet.
Because the holm-oak splits spontaneously through excessive inflexibility, it provides symbols for civic discord.
1. Duritie nimia, ‘excessive inflexibility’. Cf. Pliny, Natural History, 16.73.186 (tota ossea est ilex, ‘the holm-oak is entirely bone-like’).
