Excerpt from A Natural Arrangement of British Plants, According to Their Relations to Each Other, as Pointed Out by Jussieu, De Candolle, Brown, &C., Including Those Cultivated for Use, Vol. 2: With an Introduction to Botany, in Which the Terms Newly Introduced Are Explained; Illustrated by Figures Then spring the living herbs, profusely wild, O'er all the deep-green earth, that task the power Of botanist to number up their tribe! Whether he steals along the lonely dale, In silent search 3 or through the forest, rank With what the dull ineariouu weeds account, Bursts his blind way; or climbs the mountain rock, Fir'd by the nodding verdurc of its brow. With such a liberal hand has nature Sm; Their reeds abroad, blown them about in winds, Innumerour, mix'd them with the nursing mould.
