[Barley] [Shakespeare's Garden] [Bean]
my dish of chastity with rosemary and bays	Captain 'Tis thought the king is dead; we will not stay. The bay-trees in our country are all wither'd And meteors fright the fixed stars of heaven; The pale-faced moon looks bloody on the earth And lean-look'd prophets whisper fearful change; Rich men look sad and ruffians dance and leap, The one in fear to lose what they enjoy, The other to enjoy by rage and war: These signs forerun the death or fall of kings. Farewell: our countrymen are gone and fled, As well assured Richard their king is dead. (Richard II, Act 2, Scene 4) Bawd She conjures: away with her! Would she had never come within my doors! Marry, hang you! She's born to undo us. Will you not go the way of women-kind? Marry, come up, my dish of chastity with rosemary and bays! (Pericles Prince of Tyre, Act 4, Scene 6) Tên Việt: Nguyệt quế Tên Hoa: 月桂 nguyệt quế Tên Anh: Bay Laurel, Sweet Bay Tên Pháp: laurier sauce Tên khoa học: Laurus nobilis L. Họ: họ Long Não, Lauraceae
