Che absent Lover to his Beloved.

JEWELS brought from afar of every kind will I bring

thee;

Clasps of glittering gold shall shine on thy delicate

wrists;

There shall the emerald vie with the ruby: the beautiful sapphire,

By the bright hyacinth's side, sparkle with emulous

light;

And the rich gold shall knit the glittering brilliants together.

O, how the bridegroom exults simply in decking his bride!

If I see pearls, of thee I shall think, and every ring

shall

Bring to my fancy the fair forın of thy tapering hand. I shall traffic and buy; but thou shalt choose thee the richest.

All my cargo to thee cheerfully will I devote.

Yet not treasures and jewels alone thy beloved will purchase:

All that a housewife enjoys, that will I bring with

me too.

Fine woolen coverings I'll bring, with borders of purple to make thee

Couches soft and warm, where we may quietly sleep. Costly pieces of linen, I see thee sitting and sewing, Clothing me and thyself, and afterwards, maybe, a

third.

GOETHE.

Honesty.

FOOLS! not to know how better for the soul,
An honest half than an ill-gotten whole;
How richer he who dines on herbs with health
Of heart, than knaves with all their wines and wealth.

HESIOD.

Conscience.

An honest man to law makes no resort;
His conscience is the better rule of court.

ANTIPHANE.

The Just Man.

ALL are not just because they do no wrong.
But he who will not wrong me when he may,
He is the truly just. I praise not them,
Who, in their petty dealings, pilfer not;
But him whose conscience spurns a secret fraud,
When he might plunder and defy surprise;
His be the praise, who, looking down with scorn,
On the false judgment of the partial herd,
Consults his own clear heart, and boldly dares
To be, not to be thought, an honest man!

PHILEMON.

Honest Wealth.

THE first of human joys is health:
Next, beauty and then honest wealth.

LIMONIDES.
