Illustrating ‘The Winter’s Tale’:

‘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 Primeroses...
... bold oxlips and
The Crown Imperial; lilies of all kinds,
The Flower-de-luce being one’.
