And lady-smocks all silver-white,
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue,
Do paint the meadows with delight.” Love’s Labours Lost
The Flower Fairies: buttercup (cuckoo-bud), double-daisy, lady’s smock, & dog violet

From another one?
By his cockle bat and' staff
And his sandal shoon.

“Sing all a green willow...
The fresh streams ran by her, and murmur’d her moans
Her salt tears fell from her, and soften’d the stones...
Sing willow, willow, willow.”
Othello, 4:3



The willow grows near water & symbolises grief & sorrow.

Without all ornament, itself and true,
Making no summer of another's green,
Robbing no old to dress his beauty new;
And him as for a map doth Nature store,
To show false Art what beauty was of yore.
