Les quatre saisons de l’annee.
XCVI.
Au froid hyver la Berce nous convie,
Et au printemps l’arondelle qui crie:
Mais le coquu fait l’esté apparoistre:
Le becquefig fait l’automne congnoistre.
Commentaires.
J’estime qu’Alciat n’a eu autre but en
ceste epigram-
me, que de nous enseigner quels oiseaux, par leur
venue, nous remarquent les quatre saisons de l’annee.
La Berce, je l’ay veu
escrite par deux ee Beree, Quel-
ques uns baillent ceste proprieté au Quinson, qui crie
ordinairement fuy fuy, quand le froid est à la porte,
Becquefig ou Becquefique, est ainsi nommee, pource
qu’elle aime & mange les figues.

EMBLEMA LX.
In quatuor anni tempora.
The four seasons
Advenisse Hyemem Fringilla renunciat ales,
Ad nos Vere novo garrula Hyrundo redit.

Indicat Aestatem sese expectare Cuculus,
Autumno est tantum cernere Ficedulas.
The chaffinch is the bird that announces winter has come. When spring is new, the twittering swallow returns to us. The cuckoo lets us know that it sees summer on the way. Only in autumn can one see flycatchers.
Das LX.
Von den vier zeiten deß Jars.
Der Finck thut uns anzeigen frey
Das der Winter vorhanden sey
Wider zu uns in dem Früling
Sich nahet der schwetzig Schwalb ring
Der Guckgauch zeigt mit seim gsang
Das im nach dem Sommer sey bang
Die Weindröstel man allein spürt
In dem Herbst so man Most eynführt.
