AND FLOWERS OF POETRY. 59 
Lead him from tree to tree, from flower to flower; 
But be not won; or thou wilt, like that bird, 
When caught and caged, be left to pine neglected, 
And perish in forgetfulness. 
Miss Landon. 
DISDAIN. 
YELLOW CARNATION. 
As disdainful people generally exact homage and possess lit¬ 
tle amiability, so with this plant, it is the least beautiful and 
fragrant of its kind, yet requires continual care and attention. 
Disdain and scorn ride sparkling in her eyes, 
Misprising what they look on. 
Shakspeare. 
In the flash of her glances, were passion and pride, 
In the curve of her lip, there was haughty contempt, 
As she spoke of the power to riches allied, 
Of the evil and pain from which she was exempt.
