  • 1635: Richard Brathwaite, Anniversaries upon his Panaret; continued: With her Contemplations, penned in the languishing time of her Sicknesse, “The second Yeeres Annivers”, lines 1–14
    Last yeare I wrote of my deare PANARET,
    To pay my dearest Deare her duest debt;
    But who is Hee knew her, and knoweth not
    How many things I in my Threnes forgot,
    Which should have been exprest? but such as wee
    Who share in griefes, fall short in memorie.
    This to supply with teare-distilling eye,
    Still to one Taske I must my selfe apply;
    For wee an Anniversall meane to reare
    In honour of her vertues ev’ry yeare:
    Where though our Pencyle cannot well set forth
    The riches of her goodnesse and true worth,
    It shall appeare wee have desire to doe it,
    By th’ ceremonious zeal wee beere unto it.

Hops, too, are notoriously affected by a similar plague, and during the last year scarce a field of wheat was free from the attacks of Erysiphe graminis, but probably from some favourable turn in the season did not seem to suffer from it. It is not probable that a sure remedy will ever be found for such a anniversal pest, to the developement of which all seasons seem favourable, and which is alike produced in the most sheltered and exposed aspects, and if, as is certain, though many true species exist, one or two forms are perfectly indifferent as to the plants on which they grow, it would be quite hopeless to attempt a remedy.
