Page 172 - Not a flower But shows some touch, in freckle, streak, or stain, \ Of his unrivalled pencil. He inspires Their balmy odours, and imparts their hues, And bathes their eyes with nectar, and includes, In grains as countless as the seaside sands, The forms, with which he sprinkles all the earth.
Page 285 - NOT to myself alone," The little opening flower transported cries, — " Not to myself alone I bud and bloom ; With fragrant breath the breezes I perfume, And gladden all things with my rainbow dyes. The bee comes sipping, every eventide, His dainty fill; The butterfly within my cup doth hide From threatening ill."

If a medical man understands how to employ hypnotism as a therapeutic agency, I think it safe to predict he will never find any symptoms follow his treatment to warrant such a collection of threatening adjectives.
