1870.
A FABLE FOR THE YOUNG.
FROM THB FRENCH OF THE CHEVALIER DE CHATELAIN.
On his canvas, an artist, with pencil so true.
Had pictured a red rose and violet blue ; Deceived by their colours, a butterfly bright And a bee through the air, that was taking his flight Mistook them for flowers, and drew near in haste, With imprudent desire, their sweetness to taste : It cost them their lives, for the humming bee led By the prospect of honey found poison instead ; While the paint to the wings of the
...butterfly clung, And there, till he died, a poor prisoner he hung.
MORAL.
Let the young of deceitful attractions beware !
Pleasure often allures alone to ensnare.
He only the path of true wisdom pursues, Who controls his desires and his passions subdues.
1863.
Digitized by VjOOQ IC i863.
TRANSLATIONS. 463 SONNET.
THE HIGHWAY.
PARAPHRASED FROM THE FRENCH OF GEORGE SAND.
What spot is lovelier than the broad highway, Winding through hedges green and woods outspread ?
Thither my steps invitingly are led, Tis free for all, and owns no lordling's sway !
