ROSE, SWEET-BRIER. (Eglantine,) Rosa Rubiginosa.

Here's eglantine,

Here's ivy!--take them as I used to do Thy flowers, and keep them where they shall not pine.

Instruct thine eyes to keep their colors true,

And tell thy soul their roots are left in mine. k. E. B. BROWNING- Trans. from the Portuguese. XLII.

Sometimes I choose the lily, without stain;
The royal rose sometimes the best I call;
Then the low daisy, dancing with the rain,
Doth seem to me the finest flower of all;
And yet if only one could bloom for me-
I know right well what flower that one would
be!
