Antirrhinum {linaria Vulgaris}

A wild flower in my garden
Seems to like to grow
On pebbles on the hillsides
But also as we know
Is grown in town gardens
Know as the Snap Dragon
On disturbed ground
Makes a show
A herbaceous perennial
A Churnstaff too it’s called
Linaria Vulgaris
A plant most children know
a plant ruled by Mars
Masculine it be
Used against hex breaking
An amulet we see
Keeping evil from the wearer
Apparently it’s so
Also used to break a hex
If one didn’t know
A tea made of it sees off jaundice
And the weakness of
The Sphinkter muscle
Wherever it doth grow.
