Love glistens in thy sunny e'e

And blushes on thy brow;

Earth's heaven is here, to thee and me,

For we are happy now.

Grief melts away

Like snow in May.

R. Nicholl.

George Herbert.

[graphic]

Junq.

But when the sun, at noontide hour,
Sits throned in his highest tow'r,
Me heart-rejoicing goddess lead
To the tann'd haycock in the mead,
To mix in rural mood among

The nymphs and swains, a busy throng.

J. WALTON.

I'll serve thee in such noble ways

As ne'er was known before;

I'll deck and crown thy head with bays,
And love thee more and more.

Marquis of Montrose.

But love is blind, and lovers cannot see

The pretty follies that themselves commit.

June 2.

She loved, as ladies do,

Shakespeare

(Merchant of Venice).

Smartness; but yet (a purpose wise)
Lovely to look in hubby's eyes—

As, ladies, practise you.

Charles Dibdin the Younger.

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever!

June 3.

John Keats.

He's witty, wise, and honour'd too;
Tasteful, learned, thro' and thro';
Calm, courageous, just, urbane,
Courteous, aye! without a stain.

F. Faludi, trans. by Sir J. Bowring.

Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and low-
An excellent thing in woman.

Shakespeare.
