“The morning rose, that untouched stands
Armed with her briars, how sweet she smells!
But plucked and strained through ruder hands,
Her sweets no longer with her dwells,
But scent and beauty both are gone,
And leaves fall from her, one by one.”
—Sir Robert Ayton (1570–1638)

“In yonder Grave a Druid lies
Where slowly winds the Stealing Wave!
The Year’s best Sweets shall duteous rise
To deck its Poet’s sylvan Grave!”
—William Collins (1721–1759)
