For love pursues an ever devious race, 



True to the winding lineaments of grace. . Campbell. 



COREOPSIS, Arkansa. 

 Coreopsis tinctoria. 



Love at first sight. No warning of the approaching flame, 

 Swiftly, like sudden death it came, 

 I lov'd the moment I beheld ! Granville. 



A change so swift, what heart did ever feel ? 



It rush'd upon me like a mighty stream, 



And bore me in a moment far from shore. 



I 've lov'd away myself: in one short hour, 



Already am I gone an age of passion. . . . Dryden. 



She seizes hearts, not waiting for consent, 

 Like sudden death, that snatches, unprepared ; 

 Like fire from heaven, scarce seen so soon as felt. 



Lansdowri's Heroic Love. 



Oh ! there are looks and tones that dart 

 An instant sunshine through the heart ; 

 As if the soul, that minute, caught 

 Some treasure it through life had sought ! 



Thou com'st in beauty on my gaze at last, 

 Image of many a dream in hours past ! 



Moore. 



Halleck.

The worst fault you have is to be in love

COWSLIP, Common. 

 Primula veris. 



Winning grace. A soft subduing grace around her breathed. 



F. 



A lovelier nymph the pencil never drew ; 



For the fond graces form'd her easy mien, 



And heaven's soft azure in her eye was seen. Hayley. 



Fairer than the ghost of the hills, when it moves in a 

 sun-beam at noon, over the silence of Morven. 



Ossian. 



Fair as the forms, that, wove in fancy's loom, 



Float in light vision round the poet's head. . Mason.
