From the tailpiece of A Selection of Hexandrian Plants:
Of all hues, Celestial, Roseate, and Gold
And glittering in elegant Splendour, behold
The LILIES, a race to whom Nature has lent
All her Loveliest charms, of Form, Colour, and Scent.
With so many pleasing allurements endued
And by so many light-winged Votaries wooed.
That through all the wide circle of Flora's domain
Where the Loves & the Graces so constantly reign
What Tribe can be found so varied, so fair,
Whose forms are so Noble, whose Painting so rare.
