The “ sweet-smelling myrrh ” is frequently planted about 
cottages, and in cottage-gardens, for the sake of its agreeable 
scent. 
Oft by the peasant’s cot, the humble myrrh, 
His meet companion, doth unfold its leaves 
Of pleasant green, and umbels of fair flowers, 
That through his casement, and around his door, 
Shed richest fragrance, sweetening those few hours 
That toil allows him home-born joys to share. 
And what it gives it grudgeth not, but, like 
The true and feeling heart, dispenseth still, 
So long as it hath aught that can convey 
Pleasure to temper care, or give to grief 
Sweet balm, or drooping sorrow cheer.
