TORTONA FLORA. 277 



28. Remember thee, and all thy pains, 



And all thy love for me ! 

 Yes ! while a breath, a pulse remains, 

 Will I remember thee ! 



Montgomery. 



29. Tis not your part, 

 Out of your fond misgivings, to perplex 



The fortunes of the man to whom you cleave ; 

 Tis yours to weave oil that you have of fair 

 And bright in the dark meshes of their web. 



Talfourd. 



80. The power you wield has its best spells in love, 

 And gentleness, and thought ; never in scorn, 

 Or any wayward impulse, or caprice. 



W. Gilmore Simmt. 



81. A happy lot be thine, and larger light 



Await thco there ; for thou hast bound thy will 

 In cheerful homage to the rule of right, 

 And lovest all, and doest good for ill. 



Wm. C. Bryant. 



32. You have a natural, wiso sincerity, 

 A simple truthfulness ; 



And, though yourself not unacquaint with care, ' 

 Have in your heart wide room. 



James R. Loicett, 



33. Dear art thou to me now as in that hour 



When first love's wave of feeling, spring-like, broke 

 Into bright utterance, and we said we loved. 



Festut, by Bailey. 



84. When lovers meet in adverse hour, 



Tis like a sun-glimpse through a shower ; 

 A watery ray an instant seen, 

 Then darkly closing clouds between. 



85. " Yes ! " I answered you last night ; 



" No ! " this morning, sir, I say ! 

 Flowers, seen by candle-light, 

 Will not look the same by day. 



Mitt Barrett.
