Oak, sap

The Rape of Lucrece, [946-952]. “To fill with worm-holes stately monuments,/ To feed oblivion with decay of things,/ To blot old books and alter their contents,/ To pluck the quills from ancient ravens’ wings,/ To dry the old oak’s sap and cherish springs,/ To spoil antiquities of hammer’d steel,/ And turn the giddy round of Fortune’s wheel”.
