Malus medica.
The citron
Emblema ccvi.
Aurea sunt Venris poma haec: iucundus amaror
Indicat, est Graecis sic γλυκύπικρος amor.[1]
These golden fruits belong to Venus: the sweet bitterness tells us that. Even so is love glukupikros for the Greeks.
CItrus, & malus Medica fructum habet cuius cor-
tex aurei coloris, saporis austeri, intus verò dul-
cis succus: ita se blandus amor idémque amarus ha-
bet. Proinde pomum Veneri sacrum.

LA pomme d’Orange appartient
A Venus, pour nous faire entendre
Amour doux-amer, & apprendre
Que le mot Grec ainsi le tient.
LE Citron & Oranger a le fruit duquel
l’escorce est de couleur d’or, la saveur
forte & austere, mais le suc de dedans est doux:
tout de mesme est l’amour, qui de soy est blan
dissant, & amer aussi: partant ce fruit est de-
dié à Venus.
