On the rich quilt sinks with becoming woe, Wrapt in a gown, for sickness and for show. Pope.—Rape of the Lock, Canto IV. Line 35.	2
By giving sixty five’s pale wither’d mien, The blooming roses of sixteen. Wolcot.—The Romish Priest.	3
Die of a rose in aromatic pain. Pope.—Essay on Man, Epistle I. Line 200.	4
