To make a PLANT grow in two or three hours. Take com-

PLEASURE, is reprefented, in painting, &:c. by a youth
crowned with a myrtle garland, half cloathed, wmged, a harp
in his hand, and bufkins on his legs.—The myrtle denotes the
fame being dedicated to Venus, wherewith Paris was crowned
when he paft judgment in favour of her ; his wings, that nothing

PLENTY, is reprefented, in painting, &c. by a beautiful
lady crowned with a garland, in a green gown embroidered,
With a cornucopia in her hand ; fhe is no lefs amiable for hcr
beauty, than her contrary, Want, is deformed and odious.—The
garland denotes chearfuinefs, and the mirth that does infeparably
accompany her; tfce cornucopia is an emblem of the affluence
of all things neceffitry for human life.
PLUTO, is painted with long curled hair; clad in a robe of
cloth of gold.
He is alfo by the ancients painted riding in a chariot, drawn
by four furious black horfes, from whofe fiery noftrils proceeds
thick and ill-favoured fmoke.
Some reprefent him, with his head incircled with a garland of
cyprefs leaves, others with thofe of nnrcifTus.
The firft fhews iadnefs and horror, and are ufed at burials,,
and about the dead : But the others are more grateful, and are
ufed in memory of the untimely death of the youth NarcifTus,
killed by a wild boar.
