The Laurell,° meed of mightie Conquerours And Poets sage, the firre that weepeth still,° The Willow° worne of forlorne Paramours, The Eugh° obedient to the benders will, The Birch for shaftes, the Sallow for the mill, The Mirrhe° sweete bleeding in the bitter wound, The warlike Beech,° the Ash for nothing ill,° The fruitfull Olive, and the Platane round, The carver Holme,° the Maple seeldom inward sound.
