THE FABLES OF FLORA. 



Helvetia's rocks, Sabrina*s waves, 

 ' Still many a shining pebble bear. 

 Where oft her studious hand engraves 

 The perfect form, and leaves it there, 



O long, my Paxton*, boast her artt 

 And long her laws of love fulfil: 



To thee she gave her hand and heart. 

 To thee, her kindness and her skill!
