Bloom


O’er her warm cheek and rising bosom move, The bloom of young Desire and purple light of Love. Gray.—Progress of Poesy, Stanza 3.	1
Venus herself had breathed upon her son graceful looks, and the radiant bloom of youth, and breathed a sprightly lustre on his eyes. Virgil.—The Æneid, Book I. Line 590. (Davidson.)	2
Her bloom was like the springing flower, That sips the silver dew; The rose was budded in her cheek, Just opening to the view. Mallet.—Margaret’s Ghost, 3 Percy Rel. page 393.	3
