A MASQUE PRESENTED AT WILTON HOUSE,
JULY 28, 1909
Scene. A LAWN IN THE COUNTESS OF PEMBROKE'S ARCADIA
Enter FLORA, Lady of Summer, with her maidens, PHYLLIS and AMARYLLIS. She takes her seat upon a bank, playing with a basket of freshly gathered flowers, one of which she presently holds up in her hand.
FLORA. Ah! how I love a rose! But come, my girls,
Here's for your task: to-day you, Amaryllis,
Shall take the white, and, Phyllis, you the red.
Hold out your kirtles for them. White, red, white,
Red, red, and white again. . . .
Wonder you not

[She divides all her roses between them.
Well, take them all, and go—scatter them wide
In gardens where men love me, and be sure
