Le Cypres.
Le Cypres monstre en sa fueille, comment
Il fault traicter les siens egalement.
L’arbre du Cypres depuys sa racine mon-
te tout droict, egal jusque au plus hault de
son tige, auquel il jecte branches en coron-
ne environnantes, toutes en leur reng de mes
me grandeur, & grosseur, ainsi ordonnées
sans que l’une passe l’aultre, jusque au sommet,

ou il faict ung Cone, ou poincte demye ovale. Laquel-
le egale figure enseigne les parens de traicter leurs en-
fans tant aisnéz, que puisnéz, tant masles, que femelles
en pareille condition, & affection, sans acception de
personne, tant en nourriture, & entretenement, que en
hoirie, & testament. Car ilz sont egalement naturelz,
& legitimes. Laquelle equalite ne se observe pas
es Pays de droict escript, comme au Lyonnois.
AULTRE.
Riches tombeaux le Cypres environne:
Les monumens du Peuple Ache coronne.[1]
Costume estoit aulx anciens Romains, pour faire hon
neur à leurs parens, ou amys trespasséz de coronner,
& environner de fueillages, & fleurs en forme de Chap
pelletz Les sepulchres. Or les Monumens de ceulx de
la Seigneurie estoient coronnez de Cypres: & ceulx
du commun populaire de Ache (non de persil) lesquelz
tous deux sont quasi de semblable fueille, couleur, o-
deur, & faculté, à preserver de pourriture.
AULTRE.
Le Cypres est en fueilles bien construict,
Mais belle fueille il porte, & point de fruyct.[2]
Cecy peut estre dict des beaulx hommes, bien raméz
de membres, & de mignons bien peignéz, & testou-
néz, ou de belles femmes à beaux cheveulx, qui au de-
mourant ne valent rien, & ne portent point de fruyct.

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