NOVEMBER 7 
Sweet Flag -..------- Fitness. 
On hanging cobwebs shone the dew, 
And thick the wayside clovers grew ; 
The feeding bee had much to do 
So fast did honey drops exude : 
She sucked and murmured and was gone, 
And lit on other blooms anon, 
The while I learned a lesson on 
The source and sense of quietude.

Sweet Sultan .... Felicity. 
And may the stream of thy maturing life 
For ever flow, in blissful sunlight through 
A fairy scene with gladsome beauty rife, 
As ever greeted the enraptur’d view!

Sweet William . . Gallantry. 
A kindly speech; a cordial voice; 
A smile so quick, so warm, so bright, 
It speaks a nature full of light. 
Fate jJ. F 1LL * 
So gently blending courtesy and aft, 
That wisdom’s lips seem’d borrowing friendship’s heart.
