SPEARMINT. — Burning Love. 
Love is a region full of fires, 
And burning with extreme desires ; 
An object seeks, of which possest, 
Tfie wheels are still, the motions rest, 
The flames in ashes lie opprest; 
The meteor, striving high to rise, 
The fuel spent, falls down and dies. 
Beaumont.

LADIES’ DELIGHT. — Forget me not. 
“ Forget thee ? ” If to dream by night, and muse 
on thee by day, — 
If all the worship, deep and wild, a Poet’s heart can 
pay,— 
If prayers in absence, breathed for thee to Heaven’s 
protecting power, — 
If winged thoughts that flit to thee, — a thousand 
in an hour, — 
If busy fancy, blending thee with all my future lot,— 
If this thou eallest “ forgetting,” thou indeed shaft 
be forgot! 
Anon.
