AUGUST 1 
Nasturtium ... Heroism. 
O—you may call it madness, folly,— 
You shall not chase my gloom away; 
There’s such a charm in melancholy, 
I would not, if I could, be gay! 
JIogers. 
What volumes have been swelled, what time been 
To fix a hero’s birthday or descent. [spent, 
Young. 
AUGUST 2 ...h.,. 
Nemophila —. Prosperity. 
When fortune raiseth to the greatest height, 
The happy man should most suppress his state, 
Expecting still a change of things to find, 
And fearing when the gods appear too kind.

■... AUGUST 3 
Nettle (Burning) .. Slander. 
Oh! many a shaft, at random sent. 
Finds mark the archer little meant; 
And many a word, at random spoken, 
May soothe or wound a heart that’s broken. 
JScott. 
No falsehood shall defile my lips with lies 
Or with a veil of truth disguise. 
jSandys.
