JUNE 143 



flowers deserve the chiefest place in crownes and garlands 

 as out of 'Anacreon,' a moste ancient Greeke poet, which 

 is Englished thus 



* The rose is the honour and beautie of flowres, 

 The rose is the care and love of the Spring, 

 The rose is the pleasure of th' heavenly pow'rs, 

 The boy of faire Venus, Cythera's darling, 

 Doth wrap her head round with garlands of rose 

 When to the daunces of the Graces she goes.' "
