WORTH SUSTAINED BY AFFECTION. 



Flowers, shrinking from the chilly night, 



Droop and shut up; but with fair morning's touch, 



Rise on their stems, all open and upright. 



Montague. 



SENTIMENT. 



O! there is one affection which no stain 

 Of earth can ever darken; when two find, 

 The softer and the manlier, that a chain 

 Of kindred taste has fastened mind to mind; 

 T is an attraction from all sense refined; 

 The good can only know it; 'tis not blind, 

 As love is unto baseness; its desire 

 IB but with hands entwined to lift our being higher. 



Percival.
