\nA gentle sermon from a \u2018blissful plot\u2019 on the therapeutic joys to be found among its plants and flowers The GardenThe issue of great Jove, draw near, you Muses nine!Help us to praise the blissful plot of garden ground so fine.The garden gives good food and aid for leech\u2019s cure; The garden, full of great delight, his master doth allure.Sweet sallet herbs be here, and herbs of every kind; The ruddy grapes, the seemly fruits, be here at hand to find.Here pleasance wanteth not to make a man full fain;Here marvellous the mixture is of solace and of gain.To water sundry seeds, the furrow by the wayA running river, trilling down with liquor, can convey.Behold, with lively hue fair flow\u2019rs that shine so bright;With riches, like the orient gems, they paint the mould in sight. Bees, humming with soft sound (their murmur is so small),Of blooms and blossoms suck the tops; on dewed leaves they fall.The creeping vine holds down her own bewedded elms,And, wandering out with branches thick, reeds folded overwhelms.Trees spread their coverts wide with shadows fresh and gay;Full well their branched bows defend the fervent sun away.Birds chatter, and some chirp, and some sweet tunes do yield;All mirthful, with their songs so blithe, they make both air and field.The garden it allures, it feeds, it glads the sprite; From heavy hearts all doleful dumps the garden chaseth quite.Strength it restores to limbs, draws and fulfils the sight;with cheer revives the senses all and maketh labour light.O, what delights to us the garden ground doth bring!Seed, leaf, flow\u2019r, fruit, herb, bee, and tree, and more than I may sing!Bees, humming with soft sound (their murmur is so small),Of blooms and blossoms suck the tops; on dewed leaves they fall.The creeping vine holds down her own bewedded elms,And, wandering out with branches thick, reeds folded overwhelms.O, what delights to us the garden ground doth bring!Seed, leaf, flow\u2019r, fruit, herb, bee, and tree, and more than I may sing!
