Meaning of 折らで in a haiku

The name of the pictureThe name of the pictureThe name of the pictureClash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP

From Basho:




蓮池や折らでそのまま玉祭




I have the impression that 折らで would be 折らないで without ない. If that's the case is it an artistic choice or some obscure grammar?

          In classical Japanese, で after an irrealis-form (未然形) means ないで in modern Japanese. So 折らで means 折らないで or "without snapping off".






          接続助詞



          《接続》活用語の未然形に付く。〔打消の接続〕…ないで。…ずに。




          This で is surviving as part of ならでは (etymologically, copula-なり + で + contrastive-は → "unless so", "if it were not" → "unique to", "found only in")
