Lettuce. 
Cold Heaxtedness, 
Mourning for Adonis dead, 
Beauty’s goddess, it is said. 
Lay upon a Lettuce bed,— 
Cold her heart as stone, or lead. 
Complaisance, Common Reed* 
Thou art slim and genteel, oh, most complaisant 
friend, 
With a bow for each breeze, for each zephyr a 
bend. 
Concealed Merit, Coriander. 
Search in the sugared comfit round and fair. 
The aromatic Coriander seed is there; 
So concealed merit must be sought with care. 
Confidence, Hepatic a. 
Lo the Hepatica!” glad the gardeners cry. 
Sow we with confidence, genial days are nigh. 
Conjugal fidelity, Lime Tree. 
That bell which should have rang the bridal peal, 
Intoned the funeral knell, and sne was laid 
In the cold earth: and he, too, drooped and died, 
And from their common grave, two Linden trees. 
Emblems of conjugal fidelity. 
Sprung from one root.
