On the lofty Cordelliras 
Jcssieu found this fragrant blossom 
And intoxicate with pleasure, 
Kissed, and pressed it to his bosom. 
Irony, Sardony. 
With crisp leaf like the parsley, and a juice 
That hath the cower so strangely to contract 
The mouth of him who takes it, that he seems 
To smile as though in irony; and hence

French Marigold. 
Jealousy, 
The Marigold’s for jealousy, as well old Chaucer

He wreathed about her scowling brows these flowers 
of sickly hue. 
Jest, or Southernwood. 
Bantering,

As country people say; 
Thou spring’st amid the grasses. 
And pleasant art alway, 
As a harmless jest that passes 
’Mid a merry group at play.
