L’Orengier.

Pommes d’Orenge à Venus pour aimer
Sont. Car d’Amour le fruyct est doulx amer.

L’Orengier porte pommes de couleur d’or, de saveur
interieure austere, avec doulceur, & d’escorce amere,
& telle est l’affection de celluy amour, duquel Venus
est Princesse, à laquelle aussi fut par Paris adjugée la
pomme d’or.

Adversus naturam peccantes.[1]

Those sinning against nature.

Turpe quidem factu, sed & est res improba dictu,[2]
Excipiat si quis choenice ventris onus.
Mensuram legisque modum hoc excedere sanctae est,
Quale sit incesto pollui adulterio.[3]

It is certainly foul as a deed but also a wicked thing to speak of, if someone were to empty the burden of his bowels into a bushel-box. This means exceeding the measure and limit of divine law as it would be defiled by impure adultery.

Notes:

1.  With thanks to the commentary supplied on the Memorial website.

2.  In the 1621 version, factu and dictu are swapped round.

3.  This emblem is omitted in most editions.
