FLORA’S DIAL. 31 
ifabrnarg 21. 
VERONICA. — Fidelity. 
I ’ll lo’e thee, dearie, while the dew 
In siller hells hings on the tree ; 
Or while the boumie’s waves o’ blue 
Rin wimplin to the rorin sea. 
I ’ll lo’e thee while the gowan mild 
Its crimson fringe spreads on the lea; 
While blooms the heather in the wild, 
Oh dearie, I ’ll be true to thee !

AMARYLLIS. — Pride. 
Rudely thou wrongest my deare heart’s desire, 
In finding fault with her too portly pride ; 
The thing which I do most in her admire, 
Is of the world unworthy most enyied. 
For in those lofty looks is close implied 
Scorn of base things, — disdain of foul dishonor, 
Threatening rash eyes which gaze on her so wide 
That loosely they ne dare to look upon her! 
Spencer.
