78 BOTANY. 



XXXIV. 



Cheiranthus^ decks the ruin'd wall, 

 Where once was lofty chieftain's hall, 



Or abbey's hallow'd mound : 

 And there her wasted sweets will pour, 

 Profusely o'er the niin'd tower, 

 That seems with stately pride to lower 



On fragments pil'd around. 



XXXV. 



Curiously form'd thy spiral seed, 

 Eurodium .'y — and the wise who read, — 



Artificer Divine! 

 Thy skill, amidst these sweets immense, 

 These gems of nature's elegance, 

 Admire the vast intelligence, 



Th' imfathomable mine !
