John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

6460 Thomas Holley Chivers 1807-1858 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:6460
AUTHOR:Thomas Holley Chivers (1807–1858)
QUOTATION:Many mellow Cydonian suckets
  Sweet apples, anthosmial, divine,
From the ruby-rimmed beryline buckets
  Star-gemmed, lily-shaped, hyaline;
Like the sweet golden goblet found growing
  On the wild emerald cucumber-tree,
Rich, brilliant, like chrysophrase glowing
  Was my beautiful Rosalie Lee.
