In this play, too, and in A Winter s Tale, there are charming descriptions of country sights, but especially of flowers. Perdita, in the latter play, says : Here's flowers for you, Hot lavender, mints, savory, marjoram, The marigold that goes to bed with the sun And with him rises weeping ; and later she speaks of 120 HOW TO READ SHAKSPEARE daffodils, That come before the swallow dares, and take The winds of March with beauty ; violets dim But sweeter than the lids of Juno's eyes Or Cytherea's ...breath ; pale primroses, That die unmarried, ere they can behold Bright Phoebus in his strength a malady Most incident to maids bold oxlips and The crown-imperial ; lilies of all kinds, The flower-de-luce being one.
And, in the same play, Autolycus sings : When daffodils begin to peer With hey ! the doxy over the dale Why, then comes in the sweet o' the year, For the red blood reigns in the winter's pale. 1 Of course Shakspeare might have written such praises of country-life at any period of his history, for he had the experiences of his youth, spent in the country, to draw upon ; but, occurring, as these do, in his later life, 1 If the literary pilgrim happen to visit Stratford-on-Avon when the stream of visitors is not flowing, he may spend a delightful hour in the garden of the birth-house, where specimens are growing of the flowers, shrubs and trees mentioned in the plays.
