Te rtia quam quem dat fe ries : hoc tin fta v iden tu r
Herbarum folia & plantarum verna virore ;
Harum Iunt quoniam fa tu ri, largique co lo res ;
Et cum jam coeptant frondes marccfcere, & herba:
Lux in flaventem convertitur illa v iro rem
Multarum , in flavum prorfum , auratuuique colorem
Multarum , aut rubeum ; quin lum ine lumen in aleci
Itu r ab uno > ut fuccus ab illis evolat humens ,
Particulreque colorata: fiip an tu r, & u n i
Fors quoque concrefcunt conftri&re glutine denfo .
Jam viridis color ille uno ordine ftarc eoiores
In d ic a t, in quos paulatim imm u ta tu r abitque ;
Q u i quamvis non fint (aturi plerumque , tamen funt
Srepe quidem foturi magis idem & floridiores,
Quam recipi in quarto ut fulgentes ordine poffint#
Jam qui crerulci fu n t, purpureique , fecunda
Effe queant fe rie , vel in exc ip ien te ; at in ipfa
Conlpicias tan tum , cum pura luce rcfulgenc ;
Effe videtur uti verno florentis in horto
Nempe color violre ; perm ixta ali unda nitentis
