Butterfly,” which appeared in the “ Times,” on the 8th of August, 
1828, shortly after the publication of that by Archdeacon Wrang- 
liam. The elegance of many of the lines will be an ample excuse 
for my introducing it into a vacant page. 
PAPILJO. (Versio altera.) 
Proles arbusti, Papilio ut forem, 
Violas, et lilia, et rosas halans; 
Erraticus usque de flore ad florem. 
Qua? pulchra, quae suavia sunt, osculans! 
Non opum sentirem, non regni furorem, 
Ut sternat se coram me nemo, curans: 
Modo proles arbusti Papilio si forem. 
Quae suavia, pulchraque sunt, osculans! 
O, nossem caduceum Magae subtrahere, 
Has alulas pulchras induerem mi: 
iEstivo sub axe vagantur in acre, 
Et rosa cubant, ubi gemis, Atthi! 
Sit vigil et cautus, qui dives, necesse est; 
Nil afferunt sceptra, miserias ni: 
Papilionem me ter satis esse est, 
Rosa cubantem, cum gemis, Atthi! 
Quid quod autumni cum redit tempestas, 
Vanescunt errones hi mox parvuli: 
Multo plus proestat, cum finiit sestas, 
Morientibus omnibus pulchris, mori! 
In hieme vitae, queis ridet hie status, 
Arcento, si poterunt, ictum leti: 
Fiam Papilio, degamque paratus, 
Morientibus omnibus pulchris, mori! 
The plate also represents a single flower of the Indian Dendro- 
biurn moschatum of Hamilton, of which a most splendid specimen, 
with a great number of pendent branches covered with blossoms, 
formed one of the finest ornaments at the June fete at the Horti¬ 
cultural Society’s Gardens at Chiswick, 1842.
