Examples

“Out of all theſe deſcriptiones I gather that our comen daffadil / is one kynde of Narciſſus / where of Pliny maketh mention / when as he ſpeaketh of it with the herbiſhe color. The faſſhon of the lefe / flour and ſtalk of our daffadil agreeth well with the deſcription both of Dioſcorides / & Theophraſt / only the color of the floure is contrary or beſyde the deſcription of Dioſcorides.”

“When daffadils begin to peere, / With heigh the Doxy ouer the dale, / Why then comes in the ſweet o’ the yeere, / For the red blood raigns in yͤ winters pale.”

“When couſlips, and daiſies, and daffadils ſpread, / And adorn, and perfume the green flow’ry mead;”
