may not give the thunder word,
To drcnch the field with blood.
But i may act warriors part,
Within that listed ticld-.thc heart.
Ny path leads not through foreign lands,
Ger mountain, waste, or lea;

Nor care the world TO sec;
There may be gems Of art in Rome,
But have clioiccr gems Mt home,

Nor strike the minstrcl's Tyre;
Or blend its magic tones with song,
To set the soul OH fire;
But ! may breathe still small voice.
To make some aching heart rejoice.
'Tis not for me to paint tho sccno

But, surely, sketch may paint

Or mako the Parinn marble shine a,

But is there no rude shapciess heart
On which to try tho sculptor's artI

To set the fractured limb;

Or clear tho eyc-ball dim.
But may ply that art divine,
The art to pour the "oil and wine"

To broadcast all around;
Tho worlds wide fold may not till,
Nor sow It's fallow ground;
But littlo spots arc here aud there,

closely into each others optics. They also
showed their passion publicly. A pendent
lock of hair. often plated and tied with ribbon,
and hanging at the ear, was so fashionable iH
the time of Shakespeare, and ancrward, that

them This lock was worn on tho left side,
and hung down by the shoulder considerable
longer than the rest Of tho hair, sometimes
even to the girdlc, II was supposed to have
tho effect Of causing violent love, and was
originally French custom. Wigs were made
to initiate. Burton adds TO tho lovc-lock, a
flower worn in the ear Kissing tho eyes was

fore part Of the stays was ancicntly pocket,
where women not only carried lovc-lettcrs and
tokens, but even their money and materials
for nccdlc-work. When prominent stays were
worn, lovers dropped the literary favors into
