ALAS.
Our poets sing the bloom of womanhood As something more than earthly, quite divine. And o’er it in ecstatic rapture brood ; I fear they would not had their fate been mine. For I have had my little fortune wrecked. Though honoured once were my financial powers, Because tbe blooms the charmers most affect Are blooms of roses, and most costly flowers.
