ladies’ names. 63 
Signification . . Beloved. 
Emblem White Rose-hud. 
Sentiment .... Thou hast stolen my affection. 
Ah ! Emily, it grieveth me, 
To speak my firm belief, 
But facts, those stubborn things, affirm, 
Thou art an arrant thief ! 
Ah ! e’en from me thine early friend, 
Nay, dearest do not start ; 
Thou hast relentlessly purloined 
What most I prize, — my heart ! 
Say not it is a worthless thing, 
Its loss I must bemoan, — 
But still I ’ll let it rest, if tliou # 
Wilt give to me, thine own.
