Note 7

The sunflower. Hood, in his "Flowers," thus alludes to Clytie:
"I will not have the mad Clytie: Whose head is turned by the sun; The tulip is a courtly quean, Whom therefore I will shun; The cowslip is a country wench, The violet is a nun;- But I will woo the dainty rose, The queen of every one."
The sunflower is a favourite emblem of constancy. Thus Moore uses it:
"The heart that has truly loved never forgets, But as truly loves on to the close; As the sunflower turns on her god when he sets The same look that she turned when he rose."
