For Iris Shakespeare fiends - I mmeaaaan fans!

This subject has probably been wrung dry, BUT did anyone ever think of
Tennyson's         LOCKSLEY HALL? And yet it is a much quoted line:        
  In the Spring a fuller crimson comes upon the  robin's breast;
  In the Spring the wanton  lapwing gets himself another crest;
  In the Spring a livelier iris cbanges on the burnish'd dove;
  In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.

of course THAT iris is not a reference to our flower, but I thought it was
interesting.
