"Passion Flower.-Passiflora Cerulea"
(included in Gentlemen's Valentines, 1810)
1 The Passion flow’r, safe from [the frost] and the storm,
2 Defended and train’d rears its flexible form,
3 And fair are its blossoms delighting all Eyes
Neglected or frozen, it droops [&] it dies:
4 Then cherish and shelter the tender affection
5 That rests upon you for support and protection
