Wherewith we court these earthly things below,

Which merit not the service we bestow.

George Wither.

To me the meanest flower that blows can give

Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.

Foster the good, and thou shalt tend the flower

Already sown on earth;—

Foster the beautiful, and every hour,

Thou call’st new flowers to birth.
