F. KEMBLE'S _Records_, vol. i. 145.

[281:1] It seems probable that the Romans only knew of the Wild
Strawberry, of which both Virgil and Ovid speak--

"Qui legitis flores et humi nascentia fraga."--_Ecl._, ii.

"Contentique cibis nullo cogente creatis
Arbuteos foetus montanaque fraga legebant."--_Metam._, i, 105.

[282:1] "Quae neque confirmare argumentis neque refellere in animo est;
ex ingenio suo quisque demat vel addat fidem."--TACITUS.

[282:2] The flowers of Fragaria lucida are slightly violet-scented, but
I know of no Strawberry flower that can be said to "give most odorous
smell."

[282:3]

"The wood nymphs oftentimes would busied be,
And pluck for him the blushing Strawberry,
Making from them a bracelet on a bent,
Which for a favour to this swain they sent."

BROWNE'S _Brit. Past._, i, 2.

SUGAR.

(1) _Prince Henry._

But, sweet Ned--to sweeten which name of Ned, I give thee this
pennyworth of Sugar, clapped even now into my hand by an
under-skinker.

To drive away the time till Falstaff comes, I prithee, do thou
stand in some by-room, while I question my puny drawer to
what end he gave me the Sugar.

* * * * *

Nay, but hark you, Francis; for the Sugar thou gavest me,
'twas a pennyworth, was't not?

_1st Henry IV_, act ii, sc. 4 (23, 31, 64).

(2) _Biron._

White-handed mistress, one sweet word with thee.

_Princess._

Honey, and Milk, and Sugar, there is three.

_Love's Labour's Lost_, act v, sc. 2 (230).

(3) _Quickly._

And in such wine and Sugar of the best and the fairest, that
would have won any woman's heart.

_Merry Wives_, act ii, sc. 2 (70).

(4) _Bassanio._

Here are sever'd lips
Parted with Sugar breath; so sweet a bar
Should sunder such sweet friends.

_Merchant of Venice_, act iii, sc. 2 (118).

(5) _Touchstone._

Honesty coupled to beauty is to have honey a sauce to Sugar.

_As You Like It_, act iii, sc. 2 (30).

(6) _Northumberland._

Your fair discourse hath been as Sugar,
Making the hard way sweet
