Cotonea.
The quince
Poma novis tribui debere Cydonia nuptis
Dicitur antiquus constituisse Solon.[1]
Grata ori & stomacho cum sint, ut & halitus illis
Sit suavis, blandus manet & ore lepos.
Solon of old is said to have ordained that quinces be given to newly-weds, since these are pleasant both to mouth and stomach. As a result their breath is sweet, and winning grace drops from their lips.
1. antiquus...Solon, ‘Solon of old’. See Plutarch, Coniugalia praecepta, Moralia 138 D.

Le Buyx.[1]
Buyx tousjours verd, crespe aufaist de ses fustes,
Est bois, duquel on faict sonnantes flustes.[2]
Propre aulx amours: mais de palle couleur:
Palles amans sont, par doulce douleur.[3]
Le Buyx garde sa vive verdure, & ha bois de jaune pal
leur, duquel on faict flustes harmonieuses, (mesme-
ment chez Rafi Lyonnois, excellent ouvrier) pour son
ner amoureuses chansons, & aubades. Ainsi les amou
reux sont en leur vive chaleur, quelque froit
qu’il face
hont palle jaunisse de
fievre transie, & en parolle,
sont doulx & plaisans.
