The bamboos just now don that jadelike grace, Which worthy makes them the pheasant to face; Each culm so tender as if to droop fain, Each one so verdant, in aspect so cool, The curb protects, from the steps wards the pool. The pervious screens the tripod smell restrain. On "the pure fragrance of the Ligularia and Iris Florentina:"
Hearts are the same all the world over, and the pretty dark-eyed Roman baby must have been laid to its rest with as much grief and sadness as the fair-haired darlings whom British mothers sometimes bury in Indian soil. "It's a sweet name, too Simplicia Florentina!" mused Ingred. "I wonder what she would have grown up like. And what her history would have been!
"Declining, girl! That is what it was. He would go like this: 'Nominative, rosa, Genitive, Dative, Accusative." "I suppose that I have my nickname too," said Pepe Rey. "Let Maria Juana tell you what it is," said Florentina, hiding herself. "I? Tell it to him you, Pepa." "You haven't any name yet, Don Jose." "But I shall have one.
A cry of pain was heard from below, a malediction, a masculine exclamation, for it was a man who uttered it. Pepe Rey could distinguish clearly these words: "The devil! They have put a hole in my head, the Jacinto, Jacinto! But what an abominable neighborhood this is!" "Good Heavens! what have I done!" exclaimed Florentina, filled with consternation.
The roots, when recent, have a bitter, acrid, nauseous taste, and taken into the stomach prove strongly cathartic; and hence the juice is recommended in dropsies, in the dose of three or four scruples.

Next the meadows are ribboned by our own blue flags; and the English Iris follows and in June and July meets the sumptuous Iris of Japan at its blooming season, for there seems to be no country so poor as to be without an Iris. Iris Florentina by its powdered root yields the delicate violet perfume orris, a corruption doubtless of Iris.
To these utterances the young man responded by praises of his aunt, but he had no longer any inclination to take money from his pocket and say, "Maria Juana, take this for a pair of boots." "Pepa, take this to buy a dress for yourself." "Florentina, take this to provide yourself with a week's provisions," as he had been on the point of doing.
Among the pile of broken statues or fragments of ornamental stonework in the corner was a monumental tablet, cracked across in two places, but pieced together for preservation with iron rivets. The inscription ran: "D.M. Simpliciæ Florentinæ Animæ Innocentissimæ quæ vixit menses decem. Felicius Simplex Pater fecit. Leg. vi, V." To Simplicia Florentina, a most innocent soul, who lived ten months.
"And that you gave them a half ounce; for, according to what Maria Remedios has told me, Florentina went down to the shop of the Extramaduran this afternoon to get a half ounce changed. They could not have earned it with their sewing. You were in their house to-day; consequently " "Consequently I gave it to her. You are perfectly right." "You do not deny it?" "Why should I deny it?
Probably the most enlightened woman in all this period was the nun Florentina, sister of Bishop Leander of Seville, who was far-famed for her good works. At the time of her death in 603, she had risen to such distinction on account of her character and her ability that she was made the general director of a system of over forty convents, which were under her continual inspection and control.
