Home. 
’Tis sweet to hear the watchdog’s honest bark 
Bay deep-mouth’d welcome as we draw near home; 
’Tis sweet to know there is an eye will mark 
Our coming, and look brighter when we come. 
^YRON.

. Jealousness. 
In duty prompt at ev’ry call, 
He watch’d and wept, he prayed and felt for all; 
And as a bird each fond endearment tries 
To tempt its new-fledged offspring to the skies, 
He tried each art, reproved each dull delay, 
Allured to brighter worlds, and led the way.

Enchanter’s Nightshade _ 
. Sorcery. 
If you can look into the seeds of time, 
And say which grain will grow and which will not, 
Speak then to me, who neither beg nor fear 
Your favors, nor your hates. 
{Shakespeare.
