328 FLORAL EMBLEMS. 



YOU ARE PERFECT. 



PINE APPLE. Ananas. 



The difficulty of acquiring- perfection is of 

 great advantage, since it acts as a stimulus to 

 exertion ; but we may safely conclude in the 

 words of Pope, 



" Whoever thinks a perfect work to see, 



Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be." 



YOU ARE RICH IN ATTRACTIONS. 



GARDEN RANUNCULUS. 



" And full ranunculus, of glowing red." 



Thomson. 



Mortimer observes, that ranunculuses excel 

 all flowers in the richness of their colours. 



" Adorn'd 



She was indeed, and lovely, to attract 

 Thy love ; not thy subjection." 



Milton,
