    Take a service-tree, or a cornelian-tree, or an elder-tree, which we know have fruits of harsh and binding juice, and set them near a vine or fig-tree, and see whether the grapes or figs will not be the sweeter. Francis Bacon, Natural History, №. 485.

    Mean time the goddess, in disdain, bestows
    The mast and acorn, brutal food! and strows
    The fruits of cornel, as they feast around. Alexander Pope, Odyssey.
