take my fancy in versifying Of all the plants that Tellus Bosome yeilds In Cyprian Gardens or Thessalian Feilds None with the Noble Tulip may compare For numerous distinctions colours rare These are those Lillies such a dress put on Excel'd the Royal Robes of Solomon And Eastern Queens did in their pride confess At sight of these their bravery to be less Yet there are some who think themselves as wise Their Innocence and beauty both despise And rate the Jewels both of Earth and Skies Just as the Cock the pretious stone did prize Such are their eyes and such their Judgment too They see and know as common Brutes now do But wise Natures Servant more knowing Man These rarer objects best distinguish can Whose clearer judgment guides his choice in all The glories that adorne this Earthly Ball And he concludes who likest is to know These are the Flowers that make the richest show And that there 's nothing offered to our eyes That nature sheweth more or richer dies Presuming Painters find their skil out-done At sight of these so pensil'd by the Sun That Paterzeger doth himself confess He colours wants their glories to express When Poets strive their braveries to reherse In towering strains of emulating verse The want of words soon makes their Muse dispair Not reach their worth or speaking them less fair I 'le then conclude as reason bids me do The Sun 's best Poet and best Painter too And offer up to him my humble praise Who first this Painter made then gilds his raies Raising by influences and kindly glems These flowers in prime stand vying with his beams Till by his powerful heat are forc'd to hide In earthy Beds whence sprang their heads and pride Bids him good night and dares no more to peep Till the next year he rouzes them from sleep Frittillaria the Frittillaries flowring with Tulips must next be mention'd having small round roots and white made of two pieces as if joined together or cleft in the midst whence springs a stalk foot high or more with some few long leaves here and there dispersed at the top thereof out from amongst three or four green hollow long sharp pointed leaves cometh the flower hanging like the ordinary Crown Imperial of six leaves of several colours as Frittillaria Vulgaris the common chequer'd Frittillary of a sullen reddish purple colour checquer'd with a deeper the inside lighter than either with a stile and six chives tipt with yellow pendents when the roots are old they will bear two or three flowers on a stalk Flore duplici albicante The double blush Frittillary fashioned like the former but double consisting of twelve leaves or more of a pale purple or blush colour spotted as the other Alba the white Frittillary like the last but out and inside of a perfect yellow Flore Luteo yellow Frittillary the dark red Frittillary dusky red on the out and blood red on the inside Maxima rubra the great red Frittillary bigger than the last in all it parts and better flower but as the rest soon decaying These are the sorts with small roots sharp pointed green leaves and large flowers There is another sort with bigger roots whiter green leaves and round pointed and different fashion'd small flowers viz. Frittillaria Flore Luteo major the great yellow Frittillary hath a bigger and broader root than any of the former leaves broader shorter and round pointed stalk above two foot high of a whiter green the flower long small and of a faint yellow colour Flore luteo punctato The spotted yellow Frittilary leaves like the last flower bigger and longer of a pale yellow diversly spotted and checquer'd Lutea Maxima Italica The great yellow Italian Frittillary hath darker green leaves longer flower of a dark yellowish purple spotted or Checquered with red Angusti folia exotica viridi albicante multiplex The exotick narrow leav'd Frittillary with a whitish green double flower Lutea junci folia Lusitanica The small yellow Frittillary of Portugal a small yellow flower but more Checquered than any of the yellow ones Pyrenaea The black Frittillary like the yellowish green but that the stalk and flowers are shorter and of a dark sullen blackish green colour Hispanica umbellifera The Spanish black Frittillary differs only from the last it being bigger and bearing four or five flowers hanging round about the stalk like those of the Crown Imperial These flowers like Tulips lose their fibres as soon as their stalks withered down and may then be taken up or any time before August but must not be taken up too soon or kept too long out of the ground take them up therefore not before July nor keep them up longer than August lest thereby the roots perish or be much weakend by it the seeds of the best sorts of these flowers sown after the manner directed for Tulips give great hopes of new diversities these mentioned are considerable ones and would be more taking but that they flower when greater beauties shew their faces viz. Tulips But why should any thing int's kind be scornd Shall none go plain cause others more adorn'd Those that han't heard the Parrots pratling words Think the Jack-daw or Mag-py pretty birds Or have not seen the Alamodes of France Swear none so gay as at a Morrice dance And they that cannot judge rich Tulips worth For choicest Flower shall pick the Fools Coat forth Any thing that 's Checquer'd with several dies Doth soonest take and please the vulgar eyes Then Frittillaries raise those heads hang down The Skilful knows your worth tho not the Clown Let Tulips vant it in their glittering show You near akin cal'd checquer'd Tulips too Lucoium majus Bulbosum serotinum The great late flowering Bulbous Violet this might have been mentioned at the beginning with its lesser kind that flowers in January but then I should not have followed my proposed method in treating of them as they flower which this does in May bearing upon a two foot stalk in height six or seaven flowers hanging their heads containing six small white leaves each end tipt with green the flowers withered leave a small pod or seed vessel when ripe yeild many round shining black seeds as big as small Fetches which soon may produce varieties the root like a Daffodil's and apt to offset losing its fibres may therefore be taken up and ordered as others that have the same quality in this Months flowers Oleaster exoticus The strange wild Olive having woody shoots of a dark or yellowish colour set with long narrow whitish green leaves bearing along the branches small greenish yellow coloured flowers succeded by green berries like small Olives which when ripe are of a reddish colour the whole plant of a sweet and pleasant scent and is increased by layers or cuttings MAY Lucoium THE Stock-Gilliflower The best sorts thereof being grateful both to the smell and sight as well as affection of every Florist and as it flowers it claims the next noticeing leaving
