EMBLEMA CCXIIII [=209] .

Picea.

The spruce tree

At Picea emittat nullos quòd stirpe stolones,
Illius est index, qui sine prole perit.

But the spruce, because it sends up no shoots from its stock, is a symbol of the man who dies without progeny.

Das CCXIIII [=209] .

Füchtenbaum.

Aber dieweil kein neben Gschoß
Der Füchtenbaum beyseits außstoß
Ist er ein anzeig und gefert
Diß, der on Leibserben hinfehrt.

    Poma novis tribui debere Cydonia nuptis
    Dicitur antiquus constituisse Solon.[1]
    Grata ori & stomacho cum sint, ut & halitus illis
    Sit suavis, blandus manet & ore lepos.

    Solon of old is said to have ordained that quinces be given to newly-weds, since these are pleasant both to mouth and stomach. As a result their breath is sweet, and winning grace drops from their lips.

    Notes:

    1.  antiquus...Solon, ‘Solon of old’. See Plutarch, Coniugalia praecepta, Moralia 138 D.
