AND FLOWERS OF POETRY. 59 
Lead him from tree to tree, from flower to flower; 
fjuFbe not won; or Thou wilt, like that'Turd, 
When caught and cagecl, be left to pine neglected, 
Ami perish in forgetfulness?" 
Miss Landon. 
DISDAIN. 
YELLOW carnation. 
As disdainful people generally exact homage and possess lit¬ 
tle amiability, so with this plant, it is the least beautiful and 
fragrant of its kind, yet requires continual care and attention. 
Disdain and scorn ride sparkling in her eyes, 
Misprising what they look on. 
Shaicspeare. 
In the flash of her glances, were passion and pride, 
In the curve of her lip, there Avas haughty contempt, 
As she spoke of the power to riches allied, 
Of the evil and pain from which she was exempt.
