THE FLOWER VASE. 
97 
MARIGOLD. 
Calendula. Class 19. — Order 4 . 
A brilliant yellow flower—veiy common. 
C ontempt. 
Leave me to my lot! 
Be it or death or slavery, it were bliss 
To what thy love would proffer! I am free ! 
Talk to the wild bird battling with the storm, 
Of shelter in the cage ; or woo the kid 
From the bluff rocks to nestle at thy feet; 
But mock not me with bribes!
