144 flora’s dial. 
(October 26. 
LARCH. — Audacity. 
And must we part ? Well let it be ! 
’T is better thus, oh yes! believe me ; 
For though I still was true to thee, 
Thou, faithless maiden, wouldst deceive me. 
Take back this written pledge of love ! 
No more I ’ll to my bosom fold it; 
The ring you gave, your faith to prove, 
I can’t return, — because I’ve sold it! 
Anon. 
(October 27. 
PEPPERMINT. — Cordiality. 
Girl of the swan’s neck, 
Love me ! love me ! 
Girl of the swan’s neck, 
Love me! 
As a marble Greek doth grow 
To his steed’s back of snow, 
Thy neck sits thy shoulder so, — 
Oh girl of the swan’s nock, 
Love me! Anon.
