Le Roure, ou Suse.
Le Roure fend par trop dur estre,[1] & rond.
Sedition civile en soy se rompt.
Le Roure ou Suse, que est la plus dure espece de chesne: est en
ses parties essentiales si astrinct, & serré avec durté naturelle,
que de soy mesme il se esclate, & fend: ses parties se entre-
laissantes, & desjoignantes jusque au coeur, d’ond puys
apres par sa durté il donne lieu, & ouverture à mettre le
coing dedans qui le met par pieces, & l’envoie au feu. Ainsi
les gens seditieux en une popularité ne se peuvent entrete Link to an image of this page [R4r p263]nir joingtz ensemble: mais par leur trop dur sens, & ob-
stination, se separent, & donnent lieu à la main justiciere,
d’entrer sur eulx, les dissiper, & mettre au neant.
1. Cf. Pliny, Natural History, 16.73.186 (tota ossea est ilex, ‘the holm-oak is entirely bone-like’).

The spruce tree
At picea emittas nullos quòd stirpe stolones,
Illius est index, qui sine prole perit.
