112 TBE FLORAL 
JASMINE. 
A cottage far retired 
Among the woody windings of a vale, 
By solitude and deep surrounding shades, 
But more by bashful modesty, concealed. 
Thomson. 
Where palaces and fanes and villas rise, 
And gardens smile around and cultured fields, 
And fountains gush ; and careless herds and 
flocks 
Serenely stray; a world within itself, 
Disdaining all assault. 
Thomson.
