Architecture, Candy 
Story on story thy flow'rets rise. 
Column and fretwork, all in a span 
Built by an Architect great and wise ; 
Imitate this, if thou canst, oh man! 
Ardour, Cuckoo Pin 
The crimson flush of ardour seems to stain 
The berried club the spotted Arum rears. 
Argument, Fig, 
“ But three days since,” said Cato, “was this Fig 
Gathered at Carthage; see how near to us 
We have a mortal toe.” The argument 
Sufficed the senate, and straightway declared 
Was the third Punic war. 
:t, Acanthus 
Thy sculptured leaves enrich the tall 
And slight Corinthian capital; 
Though humble, growing at our feet, 
Of classic art the emblem meet. 
Artifice, Virgin’s Bower. 
Oh, sweet Clematis, “ trailing arily,” 
If artifice must be compared to thee, 
>Tis surely like thy fragrance, pure, refined, 
For nought but mirth each pleasantry designed.
