The Parliament of Roses to Julia

I dreamt the roses one time wentTo meet and sit in parliament;The place for these, and for the restOf flowers, was thy spotless breast,Over the which a state was drawnOf tiffanie or cobweb lawn.Then in that parly all those powersVoted the rose the queen of flowers;But so as that herself should beThe maid of honour unto thee.

State, a canopy.Tiffanie, gauze.Parly, a parliament.
