ladies’ names. 33 
Thy youthful affection 
Will bless all his hours, 
And oft prove refreshing, 
Like soft summer showers.

Signification . . An Evil 
Emblem Barberry. 
Sentiment .... Sour-tempered. 
Why that frown upon thy brow? 
Why cross looks, and crosser words ? 
Knowest thou not such looks and tones 
Pierce the heart like two-edged swords ? 
Scoulding never does thee good, 
Ne’er brings comfort to thy heart; 
And when in a furious mood, 
Like a demon sure thou art. 
Sad and sullen wilt thou be ? 
Knowest thou not that, too, is wrong? 
Well! whatever else I hear — 
Save me from a woman’s tongue !
