VIRTUE.
Sweet daj'.'so cool, so calm,..so bright The bridal of t c earth and sky The dew shall weep tby fall to-night; For thou must die.
Sweet roso, whose hue angry and brave Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye Thy root is ever m its grave Arid thou must d\e.
Sweet spring, full of sweet days and roses A box where sweets compacted lie; My music shows ye have your closes And all must die.
Only a sweet and virtuous soul, ■Like seasoned timber, never gives; But though the whole world turn to ' coal
Then chiefly lives. ~GJ3ORaE HERBERT.
