WHEAT. — You will be rich. 
You are heir 
To lordships, mansions, forests, parks, and gems. 
You have three mighty manors in Castile ; 
Two broad estates in Leon ; two amidst 
The mulberry trees of Murcia, and huge chests 
Crammed full of ingots, dug by naked slaves, 
Who famished on coarse bread. Besides all these, 
There bloom plantations in the East, whose fruits 
Are pearls, and spice, and princely diamonds; 
And in Brazil, Pactolus floods, ne’er dumb, 
Whose waves all talk in gold! 
Barry Cornwall.

VENUS’ LOOKING GLASS. — Flattery. 
At the famous daguerreotype art, 
Sweet girl, I must own thou art clever; 
Eor with one sunny glance on my heart, 
Thou hast printed thine image forever.
