HERB-PARIS, OR TRUE-LOVE". 



(PAKIS QUADRIFOLIA.) 



" And this is love, that we walk after His Commandments." 



2nd John 6. 



There's many a fond desire of earth 



Oft dignified by name of Love ; 

 But these alone are nothing worth, 



Howe'er intense within the heart they move. 



True Love that holy sign must hear — 



In every phantasy and mood — 

 Which Christians on their foreheads wear, — 



The Christ-adom'd and consecrated Eood. 



Love and the Cross inseparate dwell, 



As God and man in Christ abide ; 

 With one blest theme heaven's anthems swell — 



" "Worthy to reign the Lamb that lov'd and died"^!" 



q This plant has all its parts in fours ; four leaves, four petals, &:c. ; and 

 " All four-leaved flowers bring to the mind 

 The cross whereon He died." 



Mary Hmcitt.
