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.”
