Le citron.
XL.
Le citron doux amer ŕ Venus bien
convient,
Car Amour en son miel beaucoup d’amer contient.
Commentaires.
On peut aussi dire que le citron est le symbole de
l’amour: car il est de couleur d’or: & sa saveur est
bien aucunement douce & austere,
mais son escorce
est du tout amere. Ainsi l’orde
volupté rid de plein
abord, & semble estre toute
d’or: mais apres qu’elle a
baillé un peu du doux, elle baille l’amer ŕ plein go-
det.

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.
