THE BOUQUET. 

OLEANDER. 
NERIUM OLEANDER. 



Beware! 

I xnow a maiden fair to see, 
Take care! 
She can both false and friendly be, 
Beware! beware! 
Trust her not! 
She is fooling thee! 




She gives thee a garland woven fair, 
Take care! 
It is a fool’s-cap for thee to wear, 
Beware! beware! 
Trust her not! 
She is fooling thee! 
LONGFELLOW. 





Lovz’s early dawn delicious charms imparts ; 
With gentle breath the traitor comes at first, 
Then tempests rise, and clouds of sorrow burst. 
Wouldst thou be well? whatever form he bear, 
He wears his arrows still, and so beware! 
MOoLiERE. 
Translated by Crise.
