Next, a knight with his flaming targe
See the DENT-DE-LION so bold
With his feathery crest at large,
On a field of the cloth of gold.
Simple honesty shows in vain
A fashion few seek to robe in,
While the poor SHEPHERD'S-PURSE is ta'en
By rascally RAGGED-ROBIN.
COLTSFOOT
and
LARKSPUR
SPEEDWELL
In the race of the flowers that's run due,
As the HARTSTONGUE pants at the well
