TIIE lOVElt’S OFFEEING, 
Joys with one, sweet lover mine, 
Pretty little Celandine; 
J oys to last and not decay, 
While we tread life’s rugged way. 
With thy petals fair and bright, 
O thou givest sweet delight, 
And thou tellest joys to come 
In our own delightful home. 
How bright thy golden flowers shino 
Gay and pretty Celandine, 
Brighter yet is one to mo 
Sweeter far than flowers can be. 
By the flowing river’s side, 
Pretty flower, thou dost abide; 
By its banks we walk along, 
While we hear the linnet’s song. 
Pretty little Celandine, 
Whisper to one, 0 be mine! 
Say, I wish for joys to come 
Sweetly shared in one sweet home ! 
Gu. 
WEDLOCK. 
I scent the air 
Of blessings when I come near the house. 
What a delicious breath marriage sends forth!
