“Ther springen herbes grete and smale, 
The lycorys and cetewale, 
And many a clowe gilofre, 
And notemuge to putte in ale, 
Whether it be moyste or stale.” 
«« Bring Coronations and Sops 7m wine worne of Paramoures.” 
Spenser, Shep. Cal. April. 
“Garlands of Roses and Sopps iz Wine.”—Ibid. May. E. K., in 
his Glossary, says: ‘‘ Sops 7m Wine, a flowre in colour much like a 
coronation (carnation), but differing in smel and quantitye.” 
43. 32. ‘‘Sweete Williams,” from Fr. oez//et, Lat. ocellus, a little eye, 
corrupted to Willy, and thence to Willzam, ‘‘in reference, perhaps, 
to a popular bailad, ‘ Fair Margaret and Sweet William,’! a name 
assigned by W. Bulleyn (f. 48) to the Wallflower, but by later 
herbalists and modern gardeners, as here, to a species of pink, 
Dianthus barbatus, Linn. According to an article in the Quarterly 
Review (No. 227), it formerly bore the name of ‘Sweet Saint 
William’; but the writer gives no reference, and probably had no 
authority for saying so.”—Dr. R. A. Prior, pp. 228 and 250. 
43. 33. ‘“‘Sweete Johns.” Apparently a variety of Sweet William. 
See Parkinson’s ‘ Paradisus,” pp. 319, 321, for descriptions and 
figures: ‘‘ The chiefe differences betweene them are, that [Sweet 
Williams] have broader, and darker greene leaues, somewhat 
brownish, especially towards the points, and that the flowers stand 
thicker and closer, and more in number together, in the head or 
tuft.”—Note by Mr. J. Britten. 
43, 35. “‘Star of Jerusalem.” This is usually Zragopogon pra- 
tensis, L., as in Gerard, p. 736, but some other plant is likely to be 
meant here.—Note by Mr. J. Britten. 
43. 37. “Tuft gilleflowers.” Probably some low-growing Dz- 
anthus, such as that figured as ‘“‘ Matted Pinkes” by Parkinson 
(Paradisus, p. 315).—Note by Mr. J. Britten. 
43. 38. ‘* Veluet flowers,” according to Dr. Prior, the ‘“ love-lies- 
bleeding,” Amaranthus caudatus, Linn., from its crimson velvety 
tassels ; according to Lyte, the same as the Flower Gentle, or 
Floramor, Fr. passevelours, A. tricolor, Linn. 
44. 5. ‘‘Eyebright.” ‘* Divers Authours write that goldfinches, 
linnets, and some other Birds make use of this Herb for the repairing 
of their own and their young ones sight.”’—Coles, ‘“‘ Adam in Eden,” 
woG7, p- 46... lt is the ‘““Euphrasy’ of Milton, P. LL. xin ara A 
similar story is told of the Hawk-weed. See Pliny (lib. xx. c..7). 
44. 7. “‘Fumetorie,” Fr. fume terre, Lat. fumus terre, earth-smoke, 
it being believed to be produced without seed from vapours arising 
from the earth, as stated by Platearius: ‘‘ Dicitur fumus terre, quod 
generatur a quadam fumositate grossa, a terra resoluta, et circa
