The emblem of perfection is the rose
Of industry the bee-- the sun of bliss
Dispair the willow. The serpent-- foes
The dove, the type of true affectionas kiss.
The Seraphs only sample womans smile
The heavens but the mansion of the fair
Where then the painters art, the poets style
To picture that, so much beyond compare
Edmund Kean
