A Posie of Gilloflowers eche differing from other in colour and odour, yet all sweete. By Humfrey Gifford |
A Posie of Gilloflowers | ||

Doe tell me my friends, what creature is hee,That two times is borne, as all men may see,
And liueth a space, though not very long:
And often is killed, not hauing done wrong?
VVhen yt his breath fayleth, it liueth no more,
It then is baptised, and neuer before.
Though many a one doe euill entreate it,
They loue it right well, and often doe eate it.
