OK, LANGUAGE OP FLOWERS. 
TO THE ONE WHOM I LOVE. 
Beloved, 
Believe me when I declare that your un¬ 
avoidable 'Evergreen Clematis will never produce in 
my mind Ever-flowering Candy Tuft. It would be 
beneath the Elm of a man. I would rather give 
\ou an Ever-green Thorn. Do not doubt that in 
my mind you have a Cudweed. I have fallen be¬ 
neath your Enchanter s Nightshade , and love you 
sincerely, Therefore have Elder upon me, without 
Eupatorium. May the time soon come when we 
shall enjoy, unitedly, Everlasting Pea , never to be 
disturbed by the Ebony of Adversity. 
[Translation.] 
Beloved, 
Believe me when I declare that your un¬ 
avoidable Poverty will never produce in my mind 
Indifference. It would be beneath the Dignity of a 
man. I would rather give you Solace in Adversity. 
Do not doubt that in my mind you have a never 
ceasing Remembrance. I have fallen beneath your 
Fascination , and love you sincerely; therefore have 
Compassion upon me, without Delay. May the time 
soon come when we shall enjoy, unitedly, Lasting 
Pleasure , never to bo disturbed by the Blackness or 
Darkness of Adversity.
