 TONAWAITDA. 



NEW TOBK. 



I will not have the mad Clytie, 



Whose head is turned by the sun ; 

 The tulip is a courtly queen, 



Whom, therefore, I will sliun; 

 The cowslip is a country wench, 



The violet is a nun ; 

 But I will woo the dainty rose, 



The queen of every one. 



The pea is but a wanton witch, 



In too much haste to wed, 

 .'\nd clasps her rings on every hand ; 



The wolfsbane I should dread ; 

 Nor will I dreary rose marye. 



That always mourns the dead ; 

 But I will woo the dainty rose, 



With her cheeks ot tender red. 



The lily is all in white, like a saint, 



And so is no mate for ine ; 

 And the daisy's cheek is tipped with a blush. 



She is of such low degree ; 

 Jasmine is sweet and has many loves. 



And the broom's betrothed to the bee ; 

 But I will plight with the dainty rose, 



For fairest of all is she. —Thomas Hood.
