BOTANY. 77 



XXXII. 



Papaver !' thou *^pale misery's friend! 

 The soothing lymph thy fibres send 



Through devious veins to creep, 

 With care we seek, for soitow knows 

 Thy power to tranquilhze her woes ; 

 To give the wearied soft repose, 



And sweetly lull to sleep. 



XXXIII. 



And Digitalis'-^ wisely given, 

 Another boon of favoring Heaven 



Will happily display ; 

 The rapid pulse it can abate, 

 The hectic flush can moderate. 

 And blest by him, whose will is fate, 



May give a happier day.
