L ESBIA AND NORAH.

The ,cng of the shepherd was heard thro' the vale,
And the willow was hearkening the rivulet's ta!te ;
The red sin had sunk, save a hem of his glory,
And the far away hdls in the twilight were hoary,
And Nature seemed wedded to Summer; the ring
Was the streamlet gold,urfaced ; the bird on the wing
Was the m lo,ty breathed, and the sweetest of psaltery
That e'er sang orjoyouoness sealed at the altars.
Lesltia, the ovely, was then in the grove
with Norah, whose heat was impregnate with love;
When Lesbia said playfully, " Come let use tell,
With this buttercup, whether you like Butter well."
The Bodleian lore may treas of this fiction
Regarding the buttercup, bu the restriction
(~f custom says, On with the story you're telling,
The art of relating is weariness quelling."
Fair Norah, whoio eyes ware like vklets so bine,
With a seek that the snow cannot fully cutdo ;
With a wit of espression no pencil can trove,
Bade Lesbia proceed with her buttercup ea.°.
I cable had lips like the " roses of Gal,"
With kisses upon them that craved you to call;
Ani the dimple that larked in her dearest of china
Suvested " Faint heart sa3ll a beaut!ne'er wins."
So Lesbia applied the fair•yellow leafed test,
bd exclaims I, " Of all things you like Butter the best."
Raid Norah, " I live, 'mid the cows, where y:rn del is,
Thar milk is ambrosia—their nutter is KELLY'S,"
