Flora's Beauteous Train

All Resolutions

While walking through luxuriant vegetation, Cupid aims his arrow at a group of flowers

And thou, divine Linnaeus! trac'd my reign,
O'er trees, and plants, and Flora's beauteous train,
Prov'd them obedient to my soft controul,
And gaily breathe the aromatic soul.
Charlotte Lennox.
