306 FLORAL EMBLEMS.

Bitter sweet Nightshade. — Solanum Dulcamara. 



" The first great work 

 Is, that yourself may to yourself be true." 



Roscommon. 



However delightfully sweet truth must ever 

 appear, it is frequently found a bitter draught 

 to those to whom it is presented ; and from 

 this cause we presume the emblem has been 

 established.
