from Nux
I the poor nuttree, joyning to the way,
Offend not any: and yet every day
By idle travailers, that passe along
Each stone or cudgel at my pate is flong.
Theeves led to hanging oft are stond, they say,
When peoples furie brooks not lawes delay.
I nere offend, unlesse it seeme a crime
To yeeld my owner yeerely fruit in time.
Though by the sunne I often scorched be
Thers none with watring that refresheth me.
But when my nut with ripenesse cleaves her hull,
Then comes the Pole and threats my crowne to pull.
My pulpe for second course men use to have,
A thriftie housewife doth my choice nuts save.
These are the tooles of boyes-play, Cockupall,
Cobnut, and Five holes trundling like a ball:
And Castle-nut, where one on three doth sit,
He winnes the fourth, that any one can hit:
Another downe a steepe set board doth throw,
And winnes by hitting any nut below.
– Ovid (43 BC-AD 17), translated by Thomas Hoy (1682)
