A Posie of Gilloflowers eche differing from other in colour and odour, yet all sweete. By Humfrey Gifford |
A Posie of Gilloflowers | ||
1
A Father once, as bookes expresse,Had sonnes twise sixe, nor more nor lesse:
Ech sonne of children had scores three,
Halfe of them sonnes, halfe daughters bee.
The sonnes are farre more white then snowe,
The daughters blacker then a crow.
Wee see these children dayly die,
And yet they liue continually.
