Le Pin.

Le Pin ne faict nulz regetz de racine
D’homme qui meurt sans enfans, c’est le signe.

Le Pin brun, depuys le pied, jusque à la sime,
ne produyct nulz regetz de son tronc, desi-
gnant ung homme qui decede sans laisser
hoir de son corps.

Ilex.

The holm-oak

Duritie nimia[1] quòd sese rumperet ilex,
Symbola civilis seditionis habet.

Because the holm-oak splits spontaneously through excessive inflexibility, it provides symbols for civic discord.

Notes:

1. Duritie nimia, ‘excessive inflexibility’. Cf. Pliny, Natural History, 16.73.186 (tota ossea est ilex, ‘the holm-oak is entirely bone-like’).
