Signification . . To Send Away. 
Emblem .Privet. 
Sentiment .... Prohibition. 
I send away the fleeting joys 
Which earthly wealth can give, 
And all the honors fame bestows, 
While here on earth I live. 
I would not wish to pay my vows 
At Fashion’s lordly shrine, 
Or ’mid the circles of the proud, 
I would not wish to shine. 
I would not that my rich attire 
Should dazzle every eye, 
Or that its brilliancy excel 
The gaudy butterfly. 
These tempting joys, true happiness 
I know can never bring; 
They only shine to lead astray 
While time is on the wing. 
But there are pleasures which I prize, 
In value more than gold; 
Though unpretending they may be, 
Their wealth is yet untold.
