CARDINAL'S FLOWER. 



(Continued. ) 



High stations tumult, but not bliss create, 



None think the great unhappy, but the great. Young. 



Keen are the pains advancement often brings 

 To be secure, be humble to be happy, be content. 



Pride, like an eagle, builds among the stars ; 



But pleasure, lark-like, rests upon the ground. same. 



And often to our comfort shall we find] 



The sharded beetle in a safer hold, 



Than is the full-wing'd eagle Shaks. 



The chase 



Of glory is delightful, but when won, 

 It brings disquiet Euripides' Iphigenia. 



Fondness for fame is avarice of air Young. 



CATCH FLY, Red. Youthful love. 

 Silene. 



It is the show and seal of nature's truth, 



When love's strong passion is imprest in youth. Shaks. 



What can match the spell divine, 



The first impassion'd dream of youth ! . Anonymous. 



Loving with all that wild devotion, 

 That deep, and passionate emotion 

 Loving with all the snow-white truth, 

 That is found but in early youth ; 

 Freshness of feeling, as of flower, 

 That lives not more than spring's first hour. L. E. L. 



But sweeter still than this, than these, than all, 



Is first and passionate love it stands alone, 



Like Adam's recollection of his fall Byron. 



CATCH FLY, White.

[fall into the trap Yet who could have suspected an ambush, 



laid for me. where I was taken ? Shaks. 



All unavoided is the doom of destiny. . . . same. 

 What Fates impose, that men must needs abide, same. 



Let none think to fly the danger, 

 For soon or late, love is his own avenger. . . Byron. 



What e'er betides, by destiny 'tis done, 



And better bear like men, than vainly seek to shun. 



Dryden.
