s altaeque palatia _Romae_:
Regales notat inde domos, ut mole superba
Surgat apex, molles quae tecta imitantur _Ionas_,{civ:2}
Qualia _Romulea_, _Gothica_ quae marmora dextra,
Quicquid _Tuscus_ habet, mira panduntur ab arte.
O famae patriaeque sacer! vel diruta chartis
Vivet _Roma_ tuis; te vindice, laeta _Corinthus_
Stabit adhuc, magno nequiquam invisa _Metello_.

Nunc quoque _ruris_ opes dulcesque ante omnia curas
Pandis ovans; tristes maneat quae cura _Decembres_;
_Pleiades_ haec _Hyadesque_ jubent, haec laeta _Bootes_
Semina mandat humi, atque ardenti haec _Sirius_ agro
Coepit ut aestiva segetes torrere favilla,
Hoc _Maii_ vernantis opus, dum florea serta
Invitant Dominas ruris, dum vere tepenti
Ridet ager, renovatque suos _Narcissus_ amores.

Haud aliter victrix divinam _AEneida_ vates
Lusit opus, simul & gracili modulatus avena,
Fata decent majora tuos, _Eveline_, triumphos,
AEternum renovatur honos, te nulla vetustas
Obruet, atque tua servanda volumina cedro
Durent, & meritam cingat tibi laurea frontem
Qui vitam _Silvis_ donasti & _Floribus aevum_.

THE GARDEN.

_To _J. Evelyn,_ Esquire._

I never had any other Desire so strong, and so like to Covetousness as
that one which I have had always, That I might be Master at last of a
small House and large Garden, with very moderate Conveniencies joined to
them, and there dedicate the remainder of my Life only to the Culture of
them, and study of Nature,

And there (with no Design beyond my Wall) whole and
