My first is not so often doled
To beggar sad and urchin bold,
As when the full amount in gold
Was paid for paper one might hold,
My second is a rank extolled
As beings of superior mold,
With virtues rare and manifold,
When they by toadies are cajoled—
A rank not made through ballots polled
By freemen legally enrolled.
My whole, a fragrant plant, is sold
In parcels small to grannies old,
Who in their early life were told
“’Twill check a fever—cure a cold.”
