Scarlet-straw-berries good. A small praecox melon. The longest day:
“The longest daye in time resignes to nighte;
The greatest oke in time to duste doth turne;
The Raven dies; the Egle failes of flighte;
The Phoenix rare in time herselfe doth burne;
The princelie stagge at lenghte his race doth ronne;
And all must ende that ever was begonne.”
Geffrey Whitney’s Emblemmes; p. 230, 1586
