The cowslip then they couch, and th' oxlip, for her meet,

The columbine amongst they sparingly do set,

The yellow king-cup wrought in many a curious fret,

And now and then among, of eglantine a spray,

By which again a course of lady smocks they lay

The crow flower, and thereby the clover-flower they stick.

The daisie over all those sundry sweets so thick;


The crimson darnel flowers, the blue-bottle and gold

Which, though esteemed but weeds, yet for their dainty hues
