Emblem. 81. In desciscentes.
The translation.
The fruitefull vine is tree full good,
But barren in stead it neuer stood,
There is no vse euen of the wood
but to be cast in fire.
But barren in stead it neuer stood,
There is no vse euen of the wood
but to be cast in fire.
The carpenter doth it refuse,
In building he will not it vse
But other trees he fit doth chuse
as doth neede require:
In building he will not it vse
But other trees he fit doth chuse
as doth neede require:
For righteous men in price are had
While they doe stand, if after bad
They prooue, much worse they soone are made,
then good did earst desire.
While they doe stand, if after bad
They prooue, much worse they soone are made,
then good did earst desire.
