Quotations. 

Violet is for faithfulnesse 
Which in me shall abide; 
Hoping likewise that from your heart 
You will not let it slide 
    (from a popular songbook, `A Handfull of Pleasant Delites', first
published in 1566) 

Lay her in the earth, 
And from her fair and unpolluted flesh 
May violets spring 
    (`Hamlet', v., 1) 

. . . violets dim, 
But sweeter than the lids of Juno's eyes 
Or Cyatherea's breath 
    (`The Winter's Tale', iv., 3) 

When daisies pied, and violets blue, 
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue, 
And Lady-smocks all silver-white, 
Do paint the meadows with delight 
    (`Love's Labour's Lost')
