FLORAI^ EMBLEMS. 137 



FALSEHOOD. 



Bu GLOSS. — Anchusa. 



*' Arts on the mind, like paint upon the face. 



Fright him, that's worth your love, from your embrace."

 the face, has caused it to be made the emblem 

 of falsehood. 



The faded belles exclaim with La Fontaine, 



" Les ruines d'une maison 

 Se peuvent reparer ; que n'est cet avantage 

 Pour les ruines du visage ?"
