Of Eden.

For Adam God chose out an happie seate, A climate temperate both for cold and heate, Which daintie Flora paueth sumptuously, With flowrie Ʋers inameld tapistrie, Pomona prancks with fruits, whose taste excelles, And Zephir filles with muske and amber smelles, VVhere God himselfe (as gardiner) treades the allies, VVith trees and corne couers the hilles and vallies, Summons sweet sleep with noyse of hundred brooks, And sunne-proofe arbors makes in sundrie nookes, Hee plants, hee proines, he pares, he trimmeth round, The euer-greene bewties of a fruitfull ground: Heere, there, the course of th'holy lakes he leades, VVith thousand dies he motleth all the meade. I. Syluester.
