138 flora’s dial.

CHINA ROSE. — Grace. 
Tyrian dye, why do you wear ; 
You whose cheeks bright scarlet are ? 
Why do you fondly pin 
Pure linen o’er your skin ? 
(Your skin that ’s whiter far, — ) 
Casting a dusky cloud before a star ! 
Cowley.

RASPBERRY. — Misery . 
Be it so, we part forever ; 
Let the past as nothing be ; — 
Had I only loved Ihee, never 
Hadst thou thus been dear to me. 
Now, there is a silent sorrow 
That can find no vent in speech, 
Which disdains relief to borrow 
Prom the heights that song can reach. 
More than woman thou wast to me ; 
Not as man I looked on thee ; 
Why like woman then undo me, — 
Why heap m&n’s worst curse on me ! 
Byron.
