El Box.

OTTAVA ACEPHALA.

El crespo y verde Box d’el qual se haze
La flauta en el sonido differente.[1]
Tambien serā seņal que satisfaze
De aquel que herido d’el Amor se siente:
Porque de amarillez estā teņido
Como el que d’el Amor se siente herido.[2]

Notes:

1.  For pipes of boxwood, see e.g. Ovid, Metamorphoses, 4.30.

2.  The lover should affect pallor and emaciation, as these will soften the lady’s heart; see Ovid, Ars Amatoria, 1.729ff.

Malus medica.

The citron

Aurea sunt Veneris poma haec, iucundus amaror
Indicat, est graecis sic glycypicros amor.[1]

These golden fruits belong to Venus: the sweet bitterness tells us that. Even so is love glukupikros for the Greeks.

Notes:

1.  γλυκύπικρος, ‘bitter-sweet’, a concept often applied to Love in Hellenistic epigrams.
