July

Bright summer comes along the sky,
And paints the glowing year;
Where'er we turn the raptured eye,
Her splendid.tints appear.

LEIGH HUNT.

July 1.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate ; Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date. Shakespeare.

What is true beauty but fair virtue's face-
Virtue made visible in outward grace?

July 2.

Oh! truly blest, and blest for ever,
Are they whom true affection binds;
In whom no doubts nor janglings sever
The union of their constant minds,
But life in blended current flows
Serene and sunny to the close!

Young.

Horace.

Whate'er I have bidden thee, thou hast obeyed; Whatever forbidden, thou hast not gainsaid. Longfellow.

July 3.

Her air was so modest, her aspect so meek,
So simple yet sweet were her charms,

I kiss'd the ripe roses that glow'd on her cheek,
And lock'd the dear maid in my arms.

John Cunningham.

If solid happiness we prize,
Within our breast this jewel lies.

July 3.

The royal sun rose up in state,

Our marriage-day adorning ;
The bells rang out, wide stood the gate,
And neither of us was too late

To go to church that morning.

Amelia B. Edwards.

Time still, as he flies, adds increase to her truth,
And gives to her mind what he steals from her youth.
Edw. Moore.

July 5.

Bless'd as the immortal gods is he,
The youth who fondly sits by thee,
And hears and sees thee all the while
Softly speak and sweetly smile.

Ambrose Philips.

Upon her eyelids many graces sit,
Under the shadow of her even brows.

July 6.

Spenser

(The Faerie Queene).

What though from Fortune's lavish bounty
No mighty treasure we possess;

We'll find within our pittance plenty,

And be content without excess.

John Gilbert Cooper.

From the gay world we'll oft retire
To our own family and fire.

Cotton.
