“Nec longum tempus et ingens 
ExIIT AD CAELUM RAMIS FILICIBUS ARBOS, 
MlRATURQUE NOVAS FRONDES, ET NON SUA POMA,” 
Virgil. Georg. II, 80. 
“ And in short space the laden boughs arise, 
With happy fruit advancing to the skies. 
The mother plant admires the leaves unknown 
Of Alien trees, and apples not her own.” 
Dryden. 
“Next will i cause my hopeful lad, 
If a wild apple can be had, 
To crown the hearth.” 
Herrick to his friend John Wickes.
