Description.
OUr common Privet is carried up with
many slender Branches, to a reasonable
height and breadth, to cover Arbours, Bowrs,
and Banquetting Houses, and brought,
wrought, and cut into many forms, of Men,
Horses; Birds, &c. which though at first sup∣ported,
groweth afterwards strong of it self:
It beareth long and narrow green Leavs by
couples, and sweet smelling white Flowers in
tufts at the ends of the Branches, which turn
into smal black Berries that have a Purplish
Juyce within them, and some Seeds that are
flat on the one side, with a hole or dent there∣in.
