FLORAL EMBLEMS. 137 



FALSEHOOD. 



BUGLOSS. Anchusa. 



" Arts on the mind, like paint upon the face, 



Fright him, that's worth your love, from your embrace." 



Young. 



The roots of this plant affording a rouge for 

 the face, has caused it to be made the emblem 

 of falsehood. 



The faded belles exclaim with La Fontaine, 



" Les ruines d'une maison 

 Se peuvent reparer ; que n'est cet avantage 

 Pour les ruines du visage ?"
