El Box.

OTTAVA ACEPHALA.

Box tree.
[Click on image to enlarge]

El crespo y verde Box d’el qual se haze
La flauta en el sonido differente.[1]
Tambien serā seņal que satisfaze
De aquel que herido d’el Amor se siente:
Porque de amarillez estā teņido
Como el que d’el Amor se siente herido.[2]

Notes:

1.  For pipes of boxwood, see e.g. Ovid, Metamorphoses, 4.30.

2.  The lover should affect pallor and emaciation, as these will soften the lady’s heart; see Ovid, Ars Amatoria, 1.729ff.

Le bouis.

XXXIX.

Tousjours verd est le bouis, & crespu par la cime,
La flute qu’on en fait rend son harmonieux:[1]
Link to an image of this page  Link to an image of this page  [N5r p201] Aux delices propre est de ceux qu’amour anime
Il paslit, aussi font tous povres amoureux.[2]

Commentaires.

Le bouis est le symbole d’amour, pource qu’il est
verd mais d’une verdeur pasle. Aussi les amoureux
esperent tousjours, mais ceste esperance n’est jamais
separee de doute & crainte. Le bouis est fort propre
ā faire des flutes de toutes faįons, l’harmonie des-
quelles fait quelquefois passer la fantasie aux amou-
reux.
