Mark Lemon’s charade—

Complete, I grow within a field
And pleasant pasture often yield;
Behead me once, a suitor then
Is quickly brought before your ken;

To name a spice you’ll not then fail;
Behead me now, and you will find
The master passion left behind.

Complete me as I was before,
My second letter take away,
An envelope I am, you’ll say;
But now curtail me just once more,
I am an inlet on the shore.

My first is but half of my second;
And I’m sure you’ll admit that my whole
Is ten times the latter when reckon’d.
