Content: Image accompanied with poem, translated in part as: The peach tree with too eager haste / To shew its blossoms to the sun, / Gives oft its pretty blooms to waste....They most ensure success and praise / Who, guided by the rule of reason, / Do fitting things on fitting days, / And dress as most becomes the season.
