By which again a course of Lady-mocks they lay;

The Crow-flower, and thereby the Clorra-flower they stick,

The Daisy over all those sundry sweets so thick,

As Nature doth herself to imitate her right;

Who seems in that her 'pearl' so greatly to delight,

That every plain therewith she powdereth to behold.

The crimson Darnel-flower, the Blue-bottle and gold,

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

And for their scent, not ill, they for their purpose choose.
