“In June the bush we call
alder was heavy, listless,
its leaves studded with galls,
growing wherever we didn’t
want it.”

“Sir Eglamour, that worthy knight,
He took his sword and went to fight;
And as he rode both hill and dale,
Armed upon his shirt of mail,
A dragon came out of his den,
Had slain, God knows how many men!”
—Samuel Rowlands (1570?–1630?)
