MIGNONETTE. — You are better than handsome. 
I see her now within my view, — 
A spirit, yet a woman too ! — 
Her household motions light and free, 
And steps of virgin liberty ; 
A countenance in which do meet 
Sweet records, promises as sweet ; 
A creature not too bright or good 
Eor Human Nature’s daily food ; 
Eor transient sorrows, simple wiles, 
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles. 
Wordsworth. 
JatttiiOT 31. 
PERIWINKLE. — Tender Recollections. 
Though the rock of my last hope is shivered, 
And its fragments are sunk in the wave, 
Though I feel that my soul is delivered 
To pain, — it shall not be its slave. 
There is many a pang to pursue me : 
• They may crush, but they shall not contemn, 
They may torture, but shall not subdue me, — 
’T is of thee that I think, —not of them. 
Byron.
