146The musk-rose, and the well attir'd woodbine,147With cowslips wan that hang the pensive head,148And every flower that sad embroidery wears;149Bid amaranthus all his beauty shed,150And daffadillies fill their cups with tears,151To strew the laureate hearse where Lycid lies.152For so to interpose a little ease,
Musk rose, woodbine and cowslips are types of flowers that are dying and drooping around the coffin of Lycides. All droopy/ hanging but bright coloured flowers. Paints an image of a beautiful but sad funeral, but in line 153 it shows this is made up. Picturing a nice funeral for Lycides. Amaranthus is an imaginary/ undying flower.
