(44) A Rose.
Willford, thow lovest a pleasant Rose verie well,both for the faier cullor and the sweete smell,
for thow canst not bee without a rose in thy bedd,
to colle the, and to laye her arme vnder thy hedd.
Yet is not thy Rose, flower of Carnation hue,
nor perfect white, nor redd, but yellowishe and blewe,
and therfore most meete to serve in the night,
for other Roses would shame her if she were in the light.
