Me Copia Perdit

Here is today's emblem and distich by Joachim Camerarius, 1:13. For an Aesop's fable about a tree undone by its own abundance of fruit, see the story of the apple tree and the olive tree.

Me Copia Perdit
Rumpitur innumeris arbos uberrima pomis,
Et subito nimiae praecipitantur opes.
