JASMINE, 
(. Amiability.) 
ANY significations are attached to this exquisitely 
scented flower, but the most reliable works adopt 
it as the representative of amiability. 
THE JASMINE. 
COWPER. 
The jasmine throwing wide her elegant sweets, 
The deep dark green of whose unvarnished leaf 
Makes more conspicuous and illumines more 
The bright profusion of her scattered stars. 
TO A JASMINE TREE 
GROWING IN THE COURT OF NAWORTH CASTLE. 
LORD MORPETH. 
My slight and slender jasmine-tree, 
That bloomest on my Border-tower, 
Thou art more dearly loved by me 
Than all the wealth of fairy bower.
