CLASS XX. 

 GYNANDRIA. 



. " For him, the Spring 



Distils her dews, and from the silken gem 

 Its lucid leaves unfolds : for him, the hand 

 Of Autumn tinges every fertile branch 

 With blooming gold, and blushes like the morn. 

 Each passing hour sheds tribute from her wings ; 

 And still new beauties meet his lonely walk, 

 And loves unfelt attract him.' 



Nor thence partakes 

 Fresh pleasure only : for the attentive mind, 

 By this harmonious action on her powers, 

 Becomes herself harmonious : wont so oft 

 In outward things to meditate the charm 

 Of sacred order, soon she seeks at home 

 To find a kindred order, to exert 

 Within herself this elegance of love, 

 This fair inspir'd delight : her temper'd powers 

 Refine at length, and every passion wears 

 A chaster, milder, more attractive mein."
