EVERLASTING. 



(Continued.) 



Thou wert a rainbow to my sight, 

 The storms oflife before thee fled, 



The glory and the guiding light, 

 That onward cheered, and upward led ; 



Thou wert my guiding light afar. . 



Delta. 



There 's not an hour 



Of day, or dreaming night, but I am with thee : 

 There 's not a wind but whispers of thy name ; 

 And not a flower that sleeps beneath the moon, 

 But in its fragrance tells a tale 

 Of thee. 



Proctor. 



There 's not a look, a word of thine, 



My soul hath ere forgot ; 

 Thou ne'er hast bid a ringlet shine, 

 Nor given thy locks one graceful twine, 



Which I remember not ! . . . . 



Moore. 



All nature fades extinct ; and she alone 



Heard, felt, and seen, possesses every thought, 



Fills every sense, and pants in every vein. Thomson. 



FEVER ROOT. 



Eupatorium. 



Delay. 



Why, how now, Orlando ! where have you been all 

 this while ? You a lover ? An' you serve me such 

 another trick, never come in my sight more. . Shaks. 



Nay, an' you be so tardy, come no more in my sight ; 

 I had as lief be woo'd of a snail same. 



Break an hour's promise in love ? He that will divide 

 a minute into a thousand parts, and break but a part of 

 the thousandth part of a minute in the affairs of love, it 

 may be said of him, that Cupid hath clapp'd him o' the 

 shoulder, but I warrant him heart whole. . . same. 



FIR. 



Balm of GUead. 

 Pinus balsamea.

Time. 





Ah ! how much must that poor heart endure, 



Which hopes from thee, and thee alone a cure ! Bowles. 



Years have not seen, time shall not see 



The hour that tears my soul from thee. . . Byron. 



And as age but makes the vine, 



Whose young tendrils wander 



Round the sapling stem, entwine 



Fonder there and fonder 



So my breast for thee retains 



The first love that bound it ; 



Time can only twine the chains 



Still more firmly round it Sweeny.
