Стр. 124 - Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell.

Стр. 352 - Kirb. 352. De Geer, v. 3, p. 548. J The cymex griscus. It inhabits the birch tree. " The family of this field bug consists of thirty or forty young ones, which she conducts as a hen does her chickens.
