Text Appearing Before Image:
beast! how like a swine he lies. FLORAL EMBLEMS. 127 DURABILITY. Dogwood, or Cornel Tree.—Cornus. His cornel spear Ulysses wavd, to rouse the savage war. Odyssey. The firm and lasting nature of this woodhas caused it to be made the type of duration. Fixd in the wood th Italian cornel stood. JEneis. 128 FLORAL EMBLEMS. EARLY YOUTH. Primrose .—Primu la. And heres the meekAnd soft-eyd primrose. Hurdis The age between childhood and womanhoodis represented by this early blossom, whosedelicate perfume and modest colour so agree-ably attend the path to summer. * Youth is the vision of a morn, That flies the coming day :It is the blossom of the thorn, Which rude winds sweep away.Tis Uke the charming hue that glows Upon a virgins face ;Till care hath nippd her fading rose. And withered every grace. Cunningham. The common primrose is dedicated to St.Agatha; the red variety, aculis, to St. Ade-laide ; the early red, Verna rubra, to St. Theo-dora ; and the polyanthus to St. Catehrine deRicci.
Text Appearing After Image:
FLORAL EMBLEMS. 129 EGOTISM AND SELF-LOVE. Narcissus.—Narcissus. Narcissus fair.As oer the fabled fountain hanging still. Thompson. From Ovids beautiful metamorphosis ofthe lovely and coy Narcissus into this flowerhas originated the emblem. Narcissus on the grassy verdure lies:But whilst within the crystal font he triesTo quench his heat, he feels new heats arise.For as his own bright image he surveyd.He fell in love with the fantastic shade;And oer the fair resemblance hung unmovd:Nor knew, fond youth ! it was himself he lovd. This flower is dedicated to St. Apollonia. 130 FLORAL EMBLEMS. ELEGANCE. Rose Acacia.—Robinia hispida. Graceful to sight, and elegant hang thepapilionaceous blossoms of this favouriteflowering shrub. Beauties are frequently seen without ele-gance, but elegance is composed of beauties. * Graceful ease, and sweetness void of pride. Might hide her faults, if belles had faults to hide. Pope. FLORAL EMBLEMS. 131 ELEVATION Silver Fir.—Puius Picea. Towering firs
