TO MARY BOYLE.

With the following Poem.

i.
‘Spring-flowers’! While you still delay to take
    Your leave of Town,
Our elmtree’s ruddy-hearted blossom-flake
    Is fluttering down.

ii.
Be truer to your promise. There! I heard
Our^{[errata 1]} cuckoo call.
Be needle to the magnet of your word,
    Nor wait, till all

Errata
