iaate, 
Scarlet Fuschia. 
So fairly formed, go richly hoed. 
With grace and eloquence endued ; 
Where canst thou in our wreath be placed 
If not the emblem made of Taste ? 
Tears, Helenium 
Sprung, as # tSs fabled, from the tears of her 
Whose beautv caused the fatal Trnian xxmT4 • 
Whose beauty caused the fatal Trojan wars ; 
Thy golden blossoms to the tears of grief 
May well be likened. 
Temperance, 
Azalea. 
Let all thy joys consort with temperance. 
That will their value to enhance; 
In dryest soil the Azalea grows. 
Like virtue, where no ruby grape juice flows 
Temptation. 
Quince. 
The fruit of golden rind, which fable says 
Grew in the gardens of Hesperides: 
*Twas this, and not the apple, as some tell 
Which from the boughs of the forbidden tree 
Depending, tempted Eve to disobedience. 
Thankfulness, 
Agrimony. 
“ Nun of the fields," where Seine’s clear waters 
flow. 
Such is the name by which thy flowers they know; 
Thy small bells trembling to the wind’s caress, 
Seem to ring out a peal of thankfulness.
