196 GRACE. 
ROSE, MULTIFLORA. 
Rosa Multijiora. 
» 
Language — GRACE. 
Her grace of motion, and of look, the smooth 
And swimming majesty of step and tread, 
The symmetry of form and feature, set 
The soul afloat, even like delicious airs 
Of flute and harp. 
Milman. 
Why, a stranger — when he sees her 
In the street even — smileth stilly, 
Just as you -would at a lily. 
Miss Baekett. 
Such harmony in motion, speech, and air, 
That, -without fairness, she was more than fair. 
Cbabbe. 
Her even carriage is as far from coyness, 
As from immodesty ; in play, in dancing, 
In suffering courtship, in requiting kindness, 
In use of places, hours, and companions, 
Free as the sun, and nothing more corrupted; 
As circumspect as Cynthia in her vows, 
And constant as the centre to observe them. 
G. Chapman. 
Observe with care, politeness, that must teach 
The modish forms of gesture and of speech ; 
She moves with easy though with measured pace, 
And shows no part of study but the grace. 
Stillingfleet.
