•28 CONCHOLOGY. 



LIV. 



Th' ambitious view in courts to shine, 

 The proud desire to charm mankind, 



To Turho none impute ; 

 And yet this dress of studied care. 

 Where emerald, azure, gold appear, 

 Implies no vast dislike to wear, 



A royal birth-day suit. 



LV. 



To feed upon the peach's bloom, 

 T' inhale Dianthus' sweet perfume. 



And rest upon the Rose ; 

 To revel in the gay partcn'e, 

 So sweet, so costly, and so rare, 

 " From mom till dewy^ eve," and there 

 To take the last repose. —
