Or Prick my Dame. Divers trailing branches up∣on the ground it hath, composed of a soft substance, * 1.1 not divided into branches or leaves, but all parts alike, which are round prickles like those of the Furse, but as big as a Goose quill; if you touch it, a small matter breaketh it, and
it is not prickley at all, though it seem so to be; the colour of it is a blewish green, and beareth a yellow Flower in August, and a long seed a little after like that of Muscove, but seldom to perfection.
This Herb is set of the slip in borders sides, either in the Spring or the fall, one chase in a border upon the uppermost edge thereof; for after it is rooted it runneth upon the ground like Penny-royal, and taketh root with its branches, there∣fore it would be kept cut in order by a direct line at the ne∣thermost part of the border, and then it appeareth pretily: it keepeth green all the year and continueth many so. This Herb is eaten in Sallets in the Spring time.
