Excerpt from Cups and Their Customs
We have selected a sprig of Borage for our frontispiece, by reason of the usefulness of that pleasant herb in the fiavouring of cups. Else where than in England, plants for flavouring are accounted of rare virtue. So much are they esteemed in the East, that an anti-brahminical writer, showing the worthlessness of Hindu superstitions, says, They command you to cut down a living and sweet basil-plant, that you may crown a lifeless stone. Our use of flavour ing-herbs is the reverse of this justly condemned one; for we crop them that hearts may be warmed and life lengthened.
