Humility, Broom. 
A pilgrim to the Holy Land, Eulke, Earl of Anjou, 
went, 
Enjoined to expiate some crime, in toilsome banish¬ 
ment. 
Placed in the scalloped hat he wore a sprig of 
lowly Broom; 
And hence we name humility, the plant of golden 
Happiness, Lily of 1 
Return of, vallej 
Joyous summer-time is coming. 
Hear ye not the wild bees humming; 
Lilies are in every dell. 
Peeping forth the news to tell: 
Hark! their perfumed whispers bless 
The Return of Happiness. 
Hermitage, Milkwor 
Aii evergreen the olden hermits loved 
To plant around their sylvan habitations 
Hence we do liken it to hermitage. 
:Burn, Common Cactus 
As Cupid’s flame the heart within 
Burns, and may not extinguished be ; 
Thy sharp spines, seated ’neath the skin, 
Barn and annoy continually.
