UNEASINESS AND JEALOUSY. 
Garden Marygold. — Calendula officinalis. 
“ The marygold, that goes to bed with the sun, 
And with him rises weeping.” 
Shakspeare. 
—i -“ And jealousie. 
That wered of yeleve goldes a gerlond, 
And had a cuckowe sitting in her hand.” 
Chaucer. 
This flower, which closes its petals with the 
last smile of the sun, is given as a represent¬ 
ative of jealousy on account of its yellow 
colour. 
Dryden says, 
“ Small jealousies, ’tis true, inflame desire; 
Too great, not fan, but quite blow out the fire.”
