FORGET ME NOT. 
Myosotis Scorpioidea ,—Class 5, Order 5. 
A delicate pale-blue flower.—England. 
TRUE LOVE. 
Let me not to the marriage of true minds 
Admit impediments. Love is not love 
Which alters when it alteration finds, 
Or bends with the remover to remove ; 
O no! it is an ever fixed mark, 
That looks on tempests and is never shaken; 
It is the star to every wandering bark, 
Whose worth’s unknown, although his hight 
be taken. 
.Love’s not time’s fool, though rosy lips and 
cheeks 
Within his bending sickle’s compass come; 
Love alters not with hisbrief hours and weeks, 
But bears it out e’en to the edge of doom. 
If this be error and upon me proved, 
I never writ, nor no man ever loved. 
Shakspeare.
