Author of the Flora Londinensis. VOL. VIII. | "Much I love | | To see the fair one bind the straggling pink, | | Cheer the sweet rose, the lupin, and the stock, | | And lend a staff to the still gadding pea. | | Ye fair, it well becomes you. Better thus | | Cheat time away, than at the crowded rout, | | Rustling in silk, in a small room, close-pent, | | And heated e'en to fusion; made to breathe | | A rank contagious air, and fret at whist, | | Or sit aside to sneer and whisper scandal." | | Village Curate, p. 74. | LONDON:
