PRIDE. 



Where, rayed in sparkling dust and velvet pride, 

 Lake brilliant stars arranged in splendid row, 

 The proud Auriculas their lustre show.

SENTIMENT. 



T is not the fairest form, that holds 



The mildest, purest soul within; 

 *T is not the richest plant that folds 



The sweetest breath of fragrance in: 

 Then, lady, cast thy pride away, 



And chase those rebel thoughts of thine; 

 The casket may be bright and gay, 



Yet all within refuse to shine: 

 For, should misfortune ever lower, 



'T will cloud those charms that dazzle so ; 

 And friends who greet thy fortune's power, 



Will smile upon its overthrow.
