IX. BOOK I. CH. II. § 5.

[The plants and trees made poor and old]

[_]

Albinovanus, Eleg. de ob. Mæc. 113–4.

The plants and trees made poor and old
By winter envious,
The spring-time bounteous
Covers again from shame and cold;
But never man repaired again
His youth and beauty lost,
Though art and care and cost
Do promise nature's help in vain.
