^T'HE brave do never shun the light; 
A Just are their thoughts, and open are their tempers; 
Truly without disguise they love or hate; 
Still are they found in the fair face of day, 
And heav’n and men are judges of their actions. 
T'HY words had such a melting flow, 
A And spoke of truth so sweetly well, 
They dropp’d like heav’n’s serenest snow, 
And all was brightness where they fell!

Stranger to every female art, 
Alike to feign or to disguise.

A presence fit for camp or court;

Sctlti* tnminttlis. Natural Order: Salicaccce—Willow Family. 
(Varieties of the Willow are very numerous, all of them 
’delighting in soil in which there is an abundance of moist¬ 
ure, and are consequently oftener found along the margins 
of streams, or in low-lying, wet meadows, than in any other 
locality. This species does not develope into a tree, the stems 
: rising singly to the height of ten or twelve feet; they are very 
pliable, and well adapted to the industry to which they are applied. 
Viminalis signifies twigs or branches adapted to plaiting. One of the 
/ 
l seven Roman hills on which Jupiter was worshiped was called Vimi- 
^nalis Collis, from the Willow-copse which once stood there.
