Italy is the birthplace of the Black Mulberry-tree, which is cultivated on account of the delicacy of its fruit. It is by no means a common tree ; why, we know not, but it may be that, as with the Walnut, he who plants one never eats its fruit. The Mulberry certainly does not bear fruit for very many years, but afterwards its fruitfulness increases with its age, and the fruit is larger, and its flavour pleasanter. The Mulberry, like the Strawberry, does not undergo acetous fermentation in the stomach. It allays thirst, and is so refreshing in its eff"ects that Horace's lines seem quite justified :— " He shall with vigour bear the summer's heat. Who, after dinner, shall be sure to eat His Mulberries, of blackest ripest dyes. And gathered ere the morning sun ;—FRANCIS. Ovid's story about Pyramus and Thisbe is well known : how that the latter was a lovely damsel of Babylon, and that Pyramus lived in the house adjoining. The pair became enamoured; but their attachment was not approved of by 28.
