IF sence I had, my owne estate to knowe,
Before all trees, mu selfe hath cause to crie:
In euerie hedge, and common waye, I growe,
Where, I am made a praye, to passers by:
And when, they see my nuttes are ripe, and broune,
My bowghes are broke, my leaues are beaten doune.
Thus euerie yeare, when I doe yeelde increase,
My proper fruicte, my ruine doth procure:
If fruictlesse I, then had I growen in peace,
Oh barrenes, of all most happie, sure
Which wordes with grief, did AGRIPPINA grone,
And mothers more, whose children made them mone.
Certè ego si nunquam peperissem, tutior essem:
Ista Clytemnestra digna querela fuit.
Alciatus.
Quid sterili posset con-
tingere turpius? eheu,
Infelix, fructus in
mea damna fero.
Sueton. in Vita
Neronis.
Locus è nuce
Ouidiana.
