296 The Poets and Nature. 



"On his eloquent accents fed and hung 

 Like bees on mountain flowers." Shelley. 



" Her words were like a stream of honey fleeting, 

 The which doth softly trickle from the hive." Spenser. 



" Plus mellis quam fellis " was the appropriate motto of 

 the bee-crest of the eloquent St. Ambrose.
