Pompon R03! 
We scarce can call thee elegant; 
That thou art pretty, all must grant. 
Amarylis. 
splendour is thine—oh, bright autumnal flower! 
“ Je belle,” I shine, the Frenchman named thee 
well. 
Emblem of pride, which triumphs for an hour, 
Then to destruction falls, as Satan fell. 
?ro4t, 
The only flower we may devour 
With pleasure and with profit too. 
The emblem is not much amiss. 
At least, I think so, do not you ? 
Prolific, 
Abundantly the broad-leaved fig-tree bears; 
Two crops of fruit the ripening influence shares 
Within a single year. Oh, let us be 
Prolific of good deeds, as of rich fruit, this tree. 
Almond Blossom. 
** Mark well the flowering almonds in the wood. 
If odorous blooms the bearing branches load, 
The glebe will answer to the sylvan reign, 
Great heat will follow, and large crops of grain. ; 
Thus Virgil sang, and we may well apply 
This meaning to the bloom of happy augury.
