A wild flower in my garden
\nSeems to like to grow
\nOn pebbles on the hillsides
\nBut also as we know
\nIs grown in town gardens
\nKnow as the Snap Dragon
\nOn disturbed ground
\nMakes a show
\nA herbaceous perennial
\nA Churnstaff too it\u2019s called
\nLinaria Vulgaris
\nA plant most children know
\na plant ruled by Mars
\nMasculine it be
\nUsed against hex breaking
\nAn amulet we see
\nKeeping evil from the wearer
\nApparently it\u2019s so
\nAlso used to break a hex
\nIf one didn\u2019t know
\nA tea made of it sees off jaundice
\nAnd the weakness of
\nThe Sphinkter muscle
\nWherever it doth grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
