 And not without desert so well reputed. . . same. 



The rather will I spare my praises towards him, 

 Knowing him, is enough. ........ same,

Would be the power to lay it at your feet. . Dryden.

CALLA, JEthiopica. Feminine Modesty. In flowers and blossoms, love is wont to trace 



Emblems of woman's virtues and her grace ;

 At " thirty," one may gaze on rose and lily, 

 Nor grow poetic, amorous, nor silly.
