First, Shakespeare:
"The strawberry grows underneath the nettle
And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best
Neighbour'd by fruit of baser quality"
Henry V 1.1.60-3
And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best
Neighbour'd by fruit of baser quality"
Henry V 1.1.60-3
Now Bacon:
"Wheresoever one plant draweth such a particular juice out of the earth as it qualifieth the earth, so as that juice which remaineth is fit for the other plant, there the neighbourhood doth good, because the nourishments are contrary or several; but where two plants draw much the same juice, there the neighbourhood hurteth."
