WooMitiu, or Ill 
And oft when from that scorching shore, 
In after years those odours came, 
He pictured his green cottage door, 
The shady porch, and window-frame, 
Far, far away, across the foam : 
The very Jasmine-flower that crept 
Round the thatched roof about his home, 
Where she he loved then safely slept. 
Miller. 
Woodbine, or Honeysuckle.... Affection. 
This elegant, climbing shrub at once delights the 
eye and gratifies the smell, by the exquisite fragrance 
of its blossoms; while it confers on those humble 
dwellings in the rural districts of England and America, 
a character of cheerfulness unknown in other coun¬ 
tries. It begins to flower in May, and puts forth its 
blossoms until the end of summer. It is chosen as the 
emblem of affection, from its clinging to trees and lat¬ 
tices with all the ardour and constancy of a weak, con¬ 
fiding woman, clinging to one of the stronger, sterner 
sex, in prosperity and in adversity. 
Copious of flowers, the woodbine pale and wan, 
But well compensating her sickly looks 
With never-cloying odours, early and late. 
Cowper.
