80 WITH HERBS AND FLOWERS 



Then in my Lavender I lay, 



Muscado put among it, 

 With here and there a leaf of Bay, 



Which still shall run along it. 



Germander, Marjoram and Thyme, 



Which used are for strewing : 

 With Hyssop as an herb most prime 



Here in my wreath bestowing ; 

 Then Balm and Mint help to make up 



My chaplet, and for trial 

 Costmary that so likes the Cup, 



And next it Pennyroyal. 

 Then Burnet shall bear up with this, 



Whose leaf I greatly fancy ; 

 Some Camomile doth not amiss 



With Savoury and some Tansy. 



Then here and there I'll put a sprig 



Of Rosemary into it, 

 Thus not too Little nor too Big, 



'Tis done if I can do it. 



MICHAEL DBAYTOX. 



DAFFODIL 



WHO passes down the wintry street ? 



Hey, ho, daffodil ! 

 A sudden flame of gold and sweet. 

 With sword of emerald girt so meet, 

 And golden gay from head to feet,
