̓Αμφ' Αρεος φιλότητος ἐϋστεφάνου τ' Αφροδίτης. (ON sitit aestivo laticem sub sole viator Acrius, id gratum qvam dea munus avet. Cernit opem praesto, nec opem tamen invenit ullam, Se lavit in gelida, sed furit ignis, aqva. O miserere, loqvi dein orsa est, oscula qvaero Sola; puer saxo saepte cor, ista negas? Qvod supplex ego te, cupidus me saepe poposcit Mars immitis atrox qvi fera bella regit. Hostica cervices flectit vis nulla torosas, Qvaecumqve ingreditur proelia, victor abit. Ferre iugum tamen ille meum, mea vincla, coactus, Qvam tibi praestabo sponte, rogavit opem. Cetera qvi vincit, sic vinco, lentaqve ducit Captivum rubris nexa catena rosis. Cuius et eduris parent durissima nervis Aera, meis morem fastibus ille gerit. Parce superbire et nimium indulgere triumpho, Me tibi, dante mihi Bellipotente manus. Nec me meminisse pigebit. H. A. J. M. BLITUS omnes ut tui vivam dies? Cesset avis liqvido mulcere silvas carmine: Oblitus omnes ut tui vivam dies? Negligat unda maris tumere sub lunae face: Siticulosa nutet immemor rosa Nectareos bibere rorantis Hesperi scyphos : Tuo paternum corde litus effluat, Notaqve caeruleo fulgore vasta montium, Vultusqve amatus qvisqve, et a puertia Plurima deliciis signata plurimis loca: Qvorum simul te ceperint oblivia, Excideris animo tu, cara, tum demum meo. K. N May Morning. OW the bright morning star, day's harbinger, Comes dancing from the east, and leads with her The flowery May, who from her green lap strows The yellow cowslip and the pale primrose. Hail, bounteous May, that dost inspire Mirth and youth and warm desire; Woods and groves are of thy dressing; Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing. Thus we salute thee with our early song, And welcome thee, and wish thee long. MILTON. Woman. JICKLEST of things is Woman, once I thought: S. A. Epitaph of an Infant.

AY, rustic Pipe, in Cytherea's dome Why sounds this echo of a shepherd's home? Nor rocks nor valleys here invite the strain; But all is Love: go seek thy hills again.
