LETTUCE. 
Laetuca Sativa ,—Class 19, Order 1. 
A well-known garden esculent. 
COLD-HEARTED. 
Ere I knew the cruel maiden, 
Tranquil was my artless breast— 
Night ne’er came, with sorrow laden, 
Love ne’er bi-oke my peaceful rest. 
Love for thee my soul hath spoken, 
At thy shrine hath bent me low ; 
But my hopes are rudely broken, 
By thy cruel heartless blow; 
Once to thee my faith was plighted, 
And my heart was fond and true 
Now my deep devotion slighted, 
Brands thee for a traitor foe.
