Spiderwort --- Esteem , not love. 
How much to be priz’d and esteem’d is a friend, 
On whom we can always with safety depend! 
Our joys, when extended, will'always increase, 
And griefs, when divided, are hush’d into peace. 
JVIrs. JVIargaret JSmith.

But frankly, sir, ’tis all I have to give. 
Pryden.

For human faults, ask : « Have I none ? ”

And dotage terms so.

Starwort (American) . Welcome to a stranger. 
He thought them folks that lost their way, 
And asked them civilly to stay. 
Prior, 
The man their hearty welcome first expressed, 
A common settle drew for either guest, 
Inviting each his weary limbs to rest. 
Pryden
