THE FLOWER VASE. 25 
BURDOCK, 
Arctium. Class 18. — Order 1. 
This is known by its coarse, broad leaf, and round, bur- 
like blossom. Nurses know liow to appreciate its value in 
alleviating pain. 
Importunity. 
Of thy teasings and pleadings 
I’m heartily sick; 
I’m sure if I loved thee 
I’d tell thee so quick. 
What use or advantage 
In wooing like this ? 
When a woman says 1 No .'’ 
Do you think she means ‘ Yes? 1 
The longer thou suest 
The colder I grow; 
There—take my last answer; 
Cansthearit? 5 Tis — No!
