BOSSO.
Box-tree.
S’adopra
il Bosso a far varii strumenti,
Onde si forma poi suon
grato e caro;
Et i suoi rami a le felice genti
Ornano spesso alto edificio
e raro.
Ma perche anchora è pallido, assomiglia
A chi del’amor
suo
tormento piglia.

Ilex.
The holm-oak
Duritiae nimia[1] quod sese rumperet Ilex,
Symbola civilis seditionis habet.
Because the holm-oak splits spontaneously through excessive inflexibility, it provides symbols for civic discord.
