A^ \ CA " So forth issew'd the seasors of the yeare : These, marching softly, thus in order went. And after them the monthes all riding came." SkephercVs Calendar. Spenser. T is a Polish superstition that each month of the year has a ^■H particular Gem attached to it, which governs it, and is supposed to influence the destiny of those born in that month. It is therefore common for friends and lovers to present each other some trinket containing the "Tutelary Gem," accompanied by an appropriate wish or compliment. d "Then came old January, wrapped well. In many weeds to keep the cold away ; Yet did he quake and quiver like to quell, And blowe his nayles to warme them if he may." Shepherd's Calendar. Spenser. III. But the spite on't is, no praise Is due at all to me : Love with me had made no stays, Had it any been but she. IV. Had it any been but she And that very face, There had been at least ere this A dozen dozen in her place." Sir John Suckling # • # 'Next came fresh April 1 garnished with garlands goodly dight Of all the fairest flowers and freshest buds Which th' earth brings forth." Shepherd's Calendar. Spenser. 'SW^ "The silence of pure innocence Persuades, when speaking fails." fVtnter's Tale. Shakspeare. ^ *T!t\^ ^S'' " Then came faire May, the fayrest mayd on ground, Deckt all with dainties of her seasons pryde, And throwing flowers out of her lap around." Shepherd's Calendar. Spenser. "Say over again, and yet^once more again, That thou dost love me. Though the word repeated Should seem *a cuckoo-song,' as thou dost treat it; Remember never to the hill or plain, Valley and wood, without her cuckoo-strain, Comes the fresh Spring, in all her green completed, ' Beloved, I, amid the darkness greeted By a doubtful spirit-voice, in that doubts pain Cry . . . ' Speak once more .... thou lovest ! Who can fear Too many stars, though each in heaven shall roll — Too many flowers, though each shall crown the year? Say thou dost love me, love me, love me, — toll The silver iterance! — only minding, Dear, To love me also in silence, with thy soul." Sonnets from the Porttiguese. Mrs. Browning. >«• .!!■•'• ■ *i ■ t I I " Every thing is happy now, Every thing is upward striving; 'Tis as easy now for the heart to be true As for grass to be green or skies to be blue, — 'Tis the natural way of living : Who knows whither the clouds have fled? In the unscarred heaven they leave no wake; And the eyes forget the tears they have shed, The heart forgets its sorrow and ache. Vision of Sir Launfal. J. R.
