Sir Roger.Revolve thine eye around this hayèd mee;
206
An answer to thy barganette here see,
This withered floweret will a lesson tell;
It rose, it blew, it flourished, and did well,
Looking askance upon the neighbour green;
Yet with the 'dainèd green its glory fell,
Eftsoons it shrank upon the day-burnt plain,
Did not its look, whilest it there did stand,
To crop it in the bud move some dread hand.
