There's rosemary, that's for remembrance; pray,
love, remember: and there is pansies. that's for thoughts.

(Laertes says something)

There's fennel for you, and columbines: there's rue
for you; and here's some for me: we may call it
herb-grace o' Sundays: O you must wear your rue with
a difference. There's a daisy: I would give you
some violets, but they withered all when my father
died: they say he made a good end

Rock!

Got a citation for that? I suppose I could just whack it in and give Willy Shakes the credit.

Act 4, scene 5, don't have a line number for you.

Have you ever read Susan Wittig Albert's mysteries? The main character is an herbalist. Good reading if you can get a copy.
