'FLORA’S DIAL. 81

YERONICA. — Fidelity. 
I ’ll lo’e thee, dearie, while the dew 
In siller bells hings on the tree ; 
Or while the bournie’s waves o’ bine 
Kin wimplin to the rorin sea. 
I ’ll lo’e thee while the gowan mild 
Its crimson fringe spreads on the lea ; 
While blooms the heather in the wild, 
Oh dearie, I ’ll be true to thee ! 
K. Hamilton.

AMARYLLIS. — Pride . 
Rudely thou wrongest my deare heart’s desire, 
In finding fault with her too portly pride ; 
The thing which I do most in her admire, 
Is of the world unworthy most envied. 
For in those lofty looks is close implied 
Scorn of base things, — - disdain of foul dishonor, 
Threatening rash eyes which gaze on her so wide 
That loosely they ne dare to look upon her ! 
Spencer.
