Question
Queen Elizabeth I is compared to one of these objects in her epitaph by Anne Bradstreet which begins “this is the royal bed.” A poem addressed to one of these objects claims that, had it lived “in deserts, where no men abide,” it “must have uncommended died”; that Edmund Waller poem begins “go, lovely” [this object]. Robert Herrick's carpe diem poem “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time” begins “gather (*) [these objects] while ye may.” William Blake wrote a poem addressed to a sick example of this flower, which is “newly sprung in June” in a love poem by Robert Burns. A line in Romeo and Juliet claims that this flower “By any other name would smell as sweet.” For 10 points, name this flower traditionally used to symbolize love because of its red color. ■END■
