(Sarbett .fatmrites. 



I love the lily as the first of flowers, 



Whose stately stalk so straight up is and stay. 



ALEXANDER MONTGOMERY. 



. . . The coming rose, 



The very fairest flower, they say, that blows, 

 Such scent she hath ; her leaves are red, they say, 

 And fold her round in some divine, sweet way. 



PHILIP BOURJCE MARSTON
