FLORAL EMBLEMS. 309 



Spencer pictures, 



" Gnawing jealousy, out of their sight. 



Sitting alone, his bitter lips did bite.' 



Shakspeare calls this monster 



*' Green-eyed jealousy." 



AN UPSTART 



Is represented by a mushroom on a g*reen 

 turf. The great Verulam observes, '' Mush- 

 rooms come up in a night, and yet they are 

 unsown ; and therefore such as are upstarts in 

 state, they call in reproach mushrooms." 



" The humble mushroom, scarcely known. 



The lowly native of a country town." 



Dry den.
