Quercus.
The Oak
EMBLEMA CC.
Grata Iovi est quercus, qui nos servatque fovetque:
Servanti civem querna corona datur.[1]
Aliud.
Glande aluit veteres,[2] sola nunc proficit umbra:
Sic quoque sic arbor officiosa Iovis.
The oak is pleasing to Jove who preserves and cherishes us. A crown of oak is given to one who preserves a fellow-citizen.

The oak fed men of old with its acorns. Now it benefits us only with its shade. In this way too the tree of Jove does us service.

Mais à celuy qui sauvoit un citoyen ou plusieurs, on
