" Methinks T see great Dioclesian walk 

 In the Salonian garden's noble shade, 

 Which by his own imperial hands was made. 

 I see him smile, roethinks, as he does talk 

 With the ambassadors, who come in vain 

 T' entice him to a throne again. 

 If I, my friends,' said he, * should to you show 

 All the delights which in these gardens grow, 

 'Tis likelier far that you with me should stay 

 Than 'tis that you should carry me away: 

 And trust me not, my friends, if, every day, 

 I walk not here with more delight 

 Than ever, after the most happy fight, 

 In triumph to the capitol I rode, 

 To thank the gods, and to be thought almost myself a god.' " 



COWLET'S Garden. 



THE next day being fine, Mrs. Fortescue proposed a visit 

 to Mrs. Clifford. 



" What a delightful smell of musk!" exclaimed Henrietta, 

 as they passed by a bed of small yellow flowers.
