THE PATENT FLOWERS.
(By Peter Puck)-. A seedsman-, so French journals say, Has patented the flowers he grows; But what if seeds are borne away By every lawless wind that blows? Then will he search each vagrant bee, Lest stolen pollen she should bear And sue the breeze that make so free, Or serve a summons on the air? Well, let him keep his patent flowers, Despite the frauds of winds and bees; Still daisy, pink, and rose are ours, And Shakespeare was content witb these.
