And veils, such hues as deck the sky when day is ebbing fast;

While far and near tall marjoram bedeck'd the fairy ground,

Loading with sweets the vagrant winds that frolick'd all around. —J. A. St. John.


Semos. (Book xiv. § 2, p. 979.)

Poor mortal unmerry, who seekest to know

What will bid thy brow soften, thy quips and cranks flow,

To the house of the mother I bid thee repair—

Thou wilt find, if she's pleased, what thy heart covets there. —J. A. St. John.
