Amygdalus.
The almond
Cur properans foliis praemittis amygdale flores?
Odi pupillos praecocis ingenii.[1]
Almond tree, why are you in such a hurry to put out flowers before your leaves? I hate precocious pupils.
1. See Quintilian (Fabius Quintilianus), Institutio oratoria, 1.3.3: “the precocious type of intellect never easily comes to fruition”.

El Sauze.
TERCETO.
A’l Sauze llaṃ Homero
pierdefruto,[1] [M]
Y dị 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’.
