POETRY.

G-LORIAE CUPIDO.

(THE GENIUS OP WORLDLY AMBITION ADDRESSING A YOUNG MAN.)

Do all men kindness, or do all men ill ; Be free, be chaste, be anything you will, Only be mine, and mine once have no care Save but to shake those roses from your hair, And let me wreathe instead this crown of bays ; Then glut your lust of glory and of praise. Z.
