156 THE FLORAL 
VERBENA. 
A huge feeder, 
Snail-slow in profit, and he sleeps by day 
More than the wild-cat. 
Shakspeare. 
**W0#*»° 
An unlessoned girl, unschooled, unpractised ; 
Happy in this, she is not yet so old 
But she may learn; happier than this, 
She is not bred so dull but she can learn; 
Happiest of all is, that her gentle spirit 
Commits itself to yours to be directed, 
As from her lord, her governor, her king. 
Shakspeare.
