Ode to the Tuliptree

(Liriodendron tulipifera)

Shakespeare used the term "trippingly" to refer to a lilting or nimble effect as in "trippingly on the tongue" rather than bombastic speechifying referenced in his Hamlet directives.  The Latin name of tuliptree should thusly be spoken trippingly.  Try saying it out loud; it's very elfish and fairy-like trills befits the "trippingly" term the Bard first used in "Midsummer Night's Dream."
