Cherry. 
— September I5tb — Good Education. ' > 
Ye may simper, blush, and smile, and perfume the air 
awhile; 
But, sweet things, ye must begone ; fruit, ye know, is 
coming on; 
Then, oh then, where is your grace, when as cherries 
come in place?— Herrick. 
Orange-Tree. — I6tb — Generosity 
Here orange-trees with blossoms and pendants shine. 
And vernal honours to their autumn join ; 
Exceed their promise in the ripen’d store, 
Yet in the rising blossom promi.se more. 
Acacia. — I7tb — Friendship. 
And the sweet shades of varying verdure caught 
From soft acacia’s gently waving branch. 
Dodsley. 
Balsam. — IStb — Impatience. 
Y I- LLOW balsam’s blossoms gay, scattered o’er in thick 
. array. 
With the shining scarlet spots Nature to this flower 
allots. 
Thorn. — I9tb — Severity. 
Beneath the scant shade of an aged thorn 
Silvered with age, and mossy with decay. 
3fothcrivell. 
Ivy. — 20tb — Friendship. 
Thy home, wild plant! is where each sound 
Of revelry hath long been o’er, 
Where song’s full notes once peal’d around. 
But now are heard no more.
