THE PARLIAMENT OF ROSES TO JULIA, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: I dreamt the roses one time went
Last Line: The maide of honour unto thee.
Subject(s): Great Britain - Parliament


I dreamt the Roses one time went
To meet and sit in Parliament:
The place for these, and for the rest
Of flowers, was thy spotlesse breast:
Over the which a State was drawne
Of Tiffanie, or Cob-web Lawne;
Then in that Parly, all those powers
Voted the Rose; the Queen of flowers.
But so, as that her self should be
The maide of Honour unto thee.
