Buxus.
The box-tree
Perpetuò viridis, crispoque cacumine buxus,
Unde est disparibus fistula fasta [=facta]
modis,[1]
Delitiis apta est teneris, & amantibus arbor.
Pallor inest illi, pallet & omnis amans.[2]
The box-tree is evergreen, with crinkly shoots. From it was made the pipe with its variously pitched notes. It is a tree appropriate to tender delights and to lovers. Box-wood is pale and so is every lover.

Le Coing.[1]
A la nouvelle espouse donnoit l’on
Jadis des Coings, par la loy de Solon.[2]
Bons sont au coeur: & rendent bonne aleine
Pour bien penser: sans parolle villaine.
Les Coings confortent le coeur, & inspirent douce
aleine à la bouche. Et d’iceulx les
presens jadis faictz
aux nouvelles espouses, les admonnestoient de avoir le
coeur net en bonne, & honneste pensée: & la bouche de
bonne odeur, en pudiques, & honnestes parolles.
