Text Appearing Before Image:
coronations, and sops in wine.Worn of paramours. Spencer. This variety of the carnation is more accep-table to the florist than to the lover, sinceyellow stockings are not so much coveted byus as yellow boots are by the unfortunateGreeks. One of the first acts of the late Sul-tan Selims reign, was to cut off* the head of acommon Greek whom he met when incognito,wearing yellow slippers: he staid to see theexecution performed. Yet so vain are theGreeks, that they will run this fatal risk inorder to be taken for their betters. Shak-speare says, Supple kneesFeed arrogance, and are the proud mans fees. 122 FLORAL EMBLEMS. DISGUST. Frog Ophrys.—Habenaria viridis. No more shall violets linger in the dell.Or purple orchis variegate the plain. Mrs. C. Smith. From the resemblance which this curiousflower is thought to bear to the frog, it hasbeen made the emblem of disgust. Those unenlarged souls are disgustedwith the wonders which the microscope hasdiscovered. —Watts. rioral Tj 110.1)1 ems
Text Appearing After Image:
7 7 7 IT- FLORAL EMBLEMS. 123 DISTINCTION. Cardinals Flower.— Lobelia Cardinalis. You hold a fair assembly;You are a church-man. Shakspeare. This beautiful Mexican plant obtained thename of cardinals flower from the brightred colour of its corollas, on which accountwe place it as the symbol of distinction. * In the wmd and tempest of fortunes frown.Distinction, with a broad and powerful fan.Puffing at all, winnows the light away. Shakspeare. 124 FLORAL EMBLEMS. DOCILITY. Rush.—J uncus. A shaggy goats soft hide beneath him spread.And with fresh rushes heapd an ample bed. Odyssey. This plant, so proverbial for its pliability,is the symbol of docility. Soon docile to the secret acts of ill.With smiles I could betray, with temper kill. Piior. Those pliable minds which bend to everywill, are never worth a rush ! FLORAL EMBLEMS. 125 DO NOT ABUSE. Saffron Flower.—Crocus sativus. Can Timolus head Vie with our safFron odours V Philips. Too liberal a use of this cordial and stimu-lating*
