And all about grew euery sort of flowre,
2 To which sad louers were transformd of yore;
Fresh _Hyacinthus_, _Ph{oe}bus_ paramoure,

Foolish _Narcisse_, that likes the watry shore,
6 Sad _Amaranthus_, made a flowre but late,
Sad _Amaranthus_, in whose purple gore
8 Me seemes I see _Amintas_ wretched fate,
To whom sweet Poets verse hath giuen endlesse date.

3 Fresh Hyacinth, Phoebus' paramour,

Hyacinth > (The lily, which sprang from the blood of the beautiful
youth Hyacinth, son of the Spartan king Amyclas. Hyacinth
received the attentions of Apollo and Zephyr, god of the west
wind; Zephyr's interest was not reciprocated. One day, when
Apollo and Hyacinth were playing at quoits, the jealous Zephyr
caused one of Apollo's quoits to drift in flight and strike
Hyacinth on the head, killing him instantly. See _Met._ 10.162-
219)

5 Foolish Narcissus, that likes the watery shore;

Narcissus > (A beautiful youth who became so enamoured of his own
reflection in a pool that he gradually pined away and was
metamorphosed into a flower; see _Met._ 3.339-510, _DGDG_ 4.9
