VOL XLIII. 

 Being the First of the New Series. 



The Flowers, which grace their native beds, 



Awhile put forth their blushing heads, 



But, e'er the close of parting day, 



They wither, shrink, and die away : 



But these, which mimic skill hath made, 



Nor scorched by suns, nor killed by shade, 



Shall blush with less inconstant hue, 



Which art at pleasure can renew. Lloyd.
