A weed which grew upon the plain,
Suffer’d till harvest to remain;
Two quadrupeds will next appear,
Which both conduce to sport and cheer;
A third, a noxious little creature;
And what adds charms to simple nature;
A fruit; a color; and a date
A firm support of Britain’s state;
What high, yet low, we wish to be;
A term for one who goes to sea;
