Emblema. 78. De Absynthio: Amarus vitiorum fructus.
The same in English.
VVhat herb this is leaue to enquireThey wormewood doe it call,
Of colour good, but sault as fire,
The taste shall be with all.
So euill is poysonfull within,
In shew both faire and smoth,
But righteous men the worke of sinne
as bitter hearbs doe loth:
O happie thou vnto whose heart
Vice hath a bitter tast and tart.
