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.

El Sauze.
TERCETO.
A’l Sauze llamò Homero
pierdefruto,[1] [M]
Y diò à entender que el que aborreçe el vino
Jamas en sciencia alguna es absoluto.
[Marginalia - link to text]ὦλεσίκαρπος
1. Homer, Odyssey, 10.510. See Pliny, Natural History, 16.46.110: the willow drops its seed before it is absolutely ripe, and for that reason was called by Homer ‘seed-loser’.
