FICKLENESS. 



There is no truth in love: 

 It alters with a smile of fortune's sun, 

 As flowers do change by culture. 



Anon, 



SENTIMENT. 



I saw thee in the gay saloon 



Of fashion's glittering mart, 

 Where Mammon buys what Love deplores, 



Where Nature yields to Art; 

 And thou wert so unlike the herd 



My kindling heart despised, 

 I could not choose but yield that heart, 



Though love were sacrificed. 

 The smile which hung upon thy lips, 



In transport with their tone, 

 The music of thy thoughts, which breathed 



A magic theirs alone! 

 The looks which spake a soul so pure, 



So innocent and gay, 

 Have passed, like other golden hopes 



Of happiness, away. 



ANSWER. 



Unhappy he, who lets a tender heart, 

 Bound to him by the ties of earliest love, 

 Fall from him by his own neglect, and die, 

 Because it met no kindness. 



Pirciwl.
