Goats’ Rue . 
Reason. 
Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled, 
That they are not a pipe for fortune’s finger, 
To sound what stop she please.

Golden Bartonia .. Does he possess riches? 
Think’st thou the man whose mansions hold 
The worldling’s pride, the miser’s gold, 
Obtains a richer prize 
Than he who in his cot, at rest, 
Finds heavenly peace a willing guest 
And bears the earnest in his breast 
Of treasure in the skies ? 
JVIrs. {Sigourney.

Gourd . 
. Extent. Bulk. 
From the low earth round you, 
Reach the heights above you; 
From the stripes that wound you, 
Seek the loves that love you. 
God’s divinest burneth plain 
Through the crystal diaphane 
Of our loves that love you.
