  • Text: I am a free Leucanthemum. / Alas! for poor Chrysanthemum! / Bear with me, friends, while I / relate / The truth about his cruel fate. They said he was uncultivated, / And that they wished to do him / good / So took him to be educated / And gave him strange distorting / food. / They cut and bled him, tore his / dress, / Left him almost in nakedness, / The tied him to a martyr's stake / And led him out by force to make / A show before the public gaze / And there exposed for / days and days. / And to complete his woe and shame / They gave him some most foolish name / Thank heaven! no one has yet felt moved
