SO WHITE. SO SOFT. 50 SWEET.

See the chariot ut hand here OF love,
Wherein my lady ridethl
Each that draws is a swan or dove
And well the ear Love guideth
As she goes all hearts to duty
Unes, her beauty;
And enamored do wish. so they might
But enjoy such sight,
That they still were to run by her side,
Through swords, through seas, whittier she
would glide.
Do but look on her eyes they do light
All that Loves world eompriseth
Do but look on her hair, II Is bright
As Loves star when it risethl
Do but mark, her forehead's smoother
Than words that soothe her;
Aud from her arehed brow such grace
Sheds itself through the ace,
As alone there triumphs to the life
All the gain, all the good OF the elements

Have YOU seen hut bright lilly grow
BE ore rude hands have touched it2
Have you marked but the fall OF the snow
Before the soil hath smutched itP
Have you cit the wool OF the beaver
Or swans down ever?
Or have smelt OF the bud OF the brer
Or the nard in the fire?
Or have tasted the bag OF the becs

What Joyous hopes, what high resolves,
What generous strife!

a few foreigners of various national
