His Aunt Jobiska made him drink
Lavender water tinged with pink,
For she said, 'The world in general knows
There's nothing so good for a Pobble's toes!'
~
Edward Lear, Laughable Lyrics. The Pobble Who Has No Toes.



Here's flowers for you;
Hot lavender, mints, savory, marjoram;
The marigold, that goes to bed wi' the sun,
And with him rises weeping.
~
Shakespeare, The Winter's Tale
