TEXT-BOOK OF FLOWERS. 
*<^*S o^>4> 
Stoicism, 
Box 
Firm and smooth-grained, not easily 
Warped or turned aside, 
Like a stoic of old is the boxen tree 
Unmoved wkate’er betide. 
Strength, 
Cedar 
1 he everlasting: cedar tree which towers 
Aloft upon the mountain, and defies 
Time and the tempest, emblem is of strength 
And durability; so famed of old. 
So prized and valued in these latter days. 
Success crown 
your wishes, 
Coron&la 
7 he golden crown thou wearest. 
Gave thee the name thou bearest; 
Sweet odours float around thee, 
Rare beauty thee enriches ; 
So in our wreath we’ve bound thee 
To signify good wishes. 
Superstition, 
Veronica. 
Famed, in a superstitious age, for potency to quell 
The fury of demoniac rage, and witchcraft’s baietul 
spell. 
Surliness, 
Thistle. 
I am Sir Thistle, the surly; 
The rough, and the rude, and the burly ; 
I doubt if you’ll find 
My touch quite to your mind. 
Whether lute be your visit, or early.
