74 BOTANY. 



XXVI. 



Fair Mig7ionnette ! we love to greet 

 Thy rich effluvia, passing sweet, 



Upon the summer air ; 

 Admir'd alike by youth and age. 

 Nor scom'd by philosophic sage, — 

 Sweet subject of the poet's page,* 



And welcome every where. 



XXVIT. 



The sons of Canada esteem 

 Their Agrimonia^ and deem 



It bless'd with sovereign pow'r, 

 The fervid fever to abate, 

 And friendship's hand, ere yet too late, 

 Anxious to ward the theaten'd fate. 



Infuses root and flower. 



* Cowper.
