HONEYSUCKLE. 



(Continued.) 



Love, which nor defeated hope, nor baffled wile, 



Could render sullen, were she ne'er to smile, 



Nor rage could fire, nor sickness fret to vent 



On her one murmur of his discontent ; 



Which still would meet with joy, with calmness part, 



Lest that his look of grief should reach her heart ; 



Which nought remov'd, nor threaten'd to remove. 



Byron. 



HOUSTONIA. 



Houstonia coerulea. 



Content. ' Contentment gives a crown, 



Where fortune hath deny'd it.vj- 



Ford. 



My crown is in my heart, not on my head ; 



Nor deck'd with diamonds, and Indian stones, 



Nor to be seen : my crown is call'd content ; 



A crown it is, that seldom kings enjoy. . . Shaks. 



Tis better to be lowly born, 

 And range with humble livers, in content, 

 Than to be perk'd up in a glistering grief, 

 And wear a golden sorrow ........ same. 



Honour and shame from no condition rise, 



Act well your part, there all the honour lies. Pope. 



Much will always wanting be 

 To him who much desires. Thrice happy he 

 To whom the wise indulgency of heaven, 

 With sparing hand, but just enough has given. 



Cowley. 



Who lives to nature, rarely can be poor 



Who lives to fancy, never can be rich. . . . Young. 



HYACINTH. 



Hyacinthus. 



Jealousy. 



Love, thou knowest, is full of jealousy ! 



In gentle love the sweetest joys we find 

 Yet even those joys, dire jealousy molests, 

 And blackens each fair image in our breasts. 



Trifles light as air 



Are, to the jealous, confirmation strong 

 As proof of holy writ 



Shaks. 



Lyttelton. 



A slight, a single glance, 

 And shot at random, often has brought home 

 A sudden fever to the throbbing heart. . .
