54 THE FLORAL 
STAR OF BETHLEHEM. 
A maiden never bold— 
Of spirit so still and quiet, that thy motion 
Blushes at thyself. 
SlIAKSPEARE. 
Subtle, discerning, eloquent; the slave 
Of Love, of Hate, forever in extremes ; 
Gentle when unprovoked, easily won, 
But quick in quarrel—thro’ a thousand shades 
Thy spirit flits, chameleon-like; and mocks 
The «ye of the observer. 
Rogers.
