Esteem, Sag' 
Virtue and wisdom create esteem; 
To be wise and sage, are the same, we deem, 
And this garden plant hath virtue,—it. 
Therefore, of esteem is an emblem fit. 
Extinguished Convolvulus 
Hopes, Major. 
The maiden, when her happy choice was made, 
Gave to the unsuccessful suitors, each, 
A *oroidered Trumpet flower,—and, smiling, said, 
4t Place this extinguisher upon your hopes.’* 
Expectation, Garden Anemone, 
We may expect the spring-time, when unfold 
Thy Lilac petals *mid the garden mould. 
Faithfulness, Forget-me-not 
Faithful unto the last, “ Forget-me-not,** 
He said, and sunk beneath the *whelming tide 
Faithful to him, she lingered by the spot 
And there she pined away, and there she died. 
Falsehood, Bugl 
Anchusa yields a ruddy stain 
Which gives false colour to the face 
Be honest, maidens, and refrain 
From trifliug with your natural grace.
