Cunila pulegioides, 

 or, Menthe pulegium. 



Flee away! Beware of danger! never stay 



Nor linger on one bud too long, 

 But lightly flutter and away 

 Before you feel the charm too strong. 



Hon. Charles Phipps. 



Shun delays, they breed remorse ; 

 Take thy time, while time is lent thee ; 



* * * * 



Sober speed is wisdom's leisure, 



After wits are dearly bought, 



Let thy fore wit guide thy thought. 



Robert Southwell, Esq. 



Then, Hafed, as thou lov'st me, fly, 



I pray thee as thou lov'st me, fly, 



East, west, alas ! I care not whether, 



So thou art safe. Moore. Lalla Rookh. 



Be wise to-day ; 'tis madness to defer. 



Young's Night Thoughts. 



PEONY. 



Pseonia. 



Anger. A Frown. 



If she do frown, 'tis not in hate of you 



But rather to beget more love in you. 



If she do chide, 'tis not to have you gone

Take no repulse, whatever she doth say ; 

 For, get-you-gonc, she doth not mean away.

PERIWINKLE, Blue. Pleasures of Memory. Still the fond lover views his absent maid. . .Rogers. 



Vinca minor. 



And, to his eye, 

 There is but one beloved face on earth^ J . . Byron. 



Perish the lover, whose imperfect flame 



Forgets one feature of the nymph he lov'd. Shenstone. 



What light is light, if Sylvia be not seen ? 



What joy'is joy, if Sylvia be not by ? 



Unless it be to think that she is by, 



And feed upon the shadow of perfection. . . Shakt. 



Come, flattering memory ! and tell my heart 

 How kind she was, and with what pleasing art 

 She strove its fondest wishes to obtain, 

 Confirm her power, and faster bind my chain. 



Lyttelton.
