, such as _Luciscu's_ bee,
Or _Nemicini's,_ if _Besdan_'s fruitfull field
Can Grace to his rude table yeild,
To his plaine board with country dainties set,
In _August_'s dry and parching heat;

Jam tunc sub ipsum limen, aut domestica
Lenis sub umbra populi,
Expectat omnis hospitem suum penses,
Et concha sinceri salis,
Pressiq; meta lactis, & purus calix,
Et hospitalis amphora,
Et fraga, raris verna quae dumis legit,
Jucunda panis praemia.
Non me scari tunc, non Lucrinorum gravis
Sagina mulorum juvet:
Sed cereus palumbus, aut turtur niger;
Aut anser amnis accola,
Et eruditam quae fugit gulam faba,
Laetumque nec simplex olus,
Et quae suprema colligitur, ac gravi
Patella nil debet foro.

Even at his dore, under a private shade
By a thick pleasant Poplar made,
Provision of all sorts, expect their guest,
A shell with salt, pure and the best,
New bread, for which, 'midst the thin bryars, the Mayd
Picks Strawberries, and's gladly payd.
Cheese newly press'd, close by, the friendly Cann
With Cup cleane wash'd, doth ready stan'.
With me the _Lucrine_ dainties will not downe,
The Scare, nor Mullet that's well growne;
But the Ring-dove plump, the Turtle dun doth looke,
Or Swan, the sojourner o'th' brooke,
A messe of Beanes which shuns the curious pallet,
The cheerfull and not simple sallet;
Clusters of grapes last gathered, that misse
And nothing owe to th'weighty presse.

Post haec vel inter laeta quercetis juga,
Vel inter amneis juverit
Vitare tristeis post meridiem Notos
Sub aesculo vel ilice;
Nigrumve littus, aut opaca lubricis
Tranare stagna lintribus,
Jactaque fruge ludibundum ducere
Tremente piscem linea.
Remugit ingens interim tauris nemus,
Umbrosa balant flumina;
Et aut in antris garriunt acanthides,
Aut in rubis luscinia.

Then after noone he takes a kind of pride
To th'Hills to walke, or River side,
And 'midst the pleasant Okes, a shade doth find,
T'avoyd the blasts o'th' Southern wind;
To th'darksome shore, by the deep poole he goes,
And through, with nimble Boat he rowes;
Sometimes the sporting fish, his baite thrown in,
Hee plucks up with his trembling line.
Meane while th' spacious woods with ecchoing note
