The spruce tree
At picea emittas nullos quňd stirpe stolones,
Illius est index, qui sine prole perit.
But the spruce, because it sends up no shoots from its stock, is a symbol of the man who dies without progeny.

Buxus.
The box-tree
Perpetuň 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.
