Hic Fructus Virtutis; Clifton Waller Barrett [figure description] Paste-Down Endpaper with Bookplate: heraldry figure with a green tree on top and shield below. There is a small gray shield hanging from the branches of the tree, with three blue figures on that small shield. The tree stands on a base of gray and black intertwined bars, referred to as a wreath in heraldic terms. Below the tree is a larger shield, with a black background, and with three gray, diagonal stripes across it; these diagonal stripes are referred to as bends in heraldic terms. There are three gold leaves in line, end-to-end, down the middle of the center stripe (or bend), with green veins in the leaves. Note that the colors to which this description refers appear in some renderings of this bookplate; however, some renderings may appear instead in black, white and gray tones.[end figure description]

Preface

Τ&ogvgr; &sbEacgr;αρ.
Πορφυρ&eacgr;η με&iacgr;δησε φερανθ&eacgr;ος &sbaacgr;νθεος &rbohacgr;ρη&colgr;
Γα&itigr;α δ&egvgr; κυαν&eacgr;η χλοερ&eegvgr;ν &sbegr;στ&eacgr;ψατο πο&iacgr;ην.κ.τ.λ.
[Here] smiles the purple spring's bloom-bearing time;
And swart earth does her glossy green hair trim;
Decks with fresh leaflets every bursting limb.
Here drink the pure and quickening dew of morn
The laughing meads; and the soft rose is born.
The shipmen, lithe, plough the wide-foaming seas,
Bellying their sails with frolic Zephyr's breeze.
And, aye, the brisk-tongued bird-race plies its song;
Kingfishers seaward; swallows, roofs among.
Meleagros, Idyll. To Spring.
