ips. Primerose double and single. The Violet nothing behinde the
best, for smelling sweetly. A thousand more will prouoke your content.
{SN: Borders and squares.}
And all these, by the skill of your Gardner, so comely, and orderly
placed in your Borders and Squares, and so intermingled, that none
looking thereon, cannot but wonder, to see, what Nature corrected by Art
can doe.
{SN: Mounts.}
{SN: Whence you may shoote a Bucke.}
{SN: Dyall.}
{SN: Musique.}
When you behold in diuers corners of your Orchard _Mounts_ of stone, or
wood curiously wrought within and without, or of earth couered with
fruit-trees: Kentish Cherry, Damsons, Plummes, &c. with staires of
precious workmanship. And in some corner (or moe) a true Dyall or Clocke
and some Anticke-workes and especially siluer-sounding Musique, mixt
Instruments and voices, gracing all the rest: How will you be rapt with
delight?

{SN: Order of trees.}
View now with delight the workes of your owne hands, your fruit-trees of
all sorts, loaden with sweet blossomes, and fruit of all tasts,

Your borders on euery side hanging and drooping with Feberries,
Raspberries, Barberries, Currens, and the rootes of your trees powdred
with Strawberries, red, white, and greene, what a pleasure is this? Your
Gardner can frame your lesser wood to the shape of men armed in the
field, ready to giue battell: or swift running Greyhounds: or of well
sented and true running Hounds, to chase the Deere, or hunt the Hare.
This kind of hunting shall not waste your corne, nor much your coyne.
{SN: Mazes.}
Mazes well framed a mans height, may perhaps make your friend wander in
gathering of berries, till he cannot recouer himselfe without your
helpe.
{SN: Bowle-Alley.}
{SN: Buts.}
To haue occasion to exercise within your Orchard: it shall be a pleasure
to haue a Bowling Alley, or rather (which is more manly, and more
healthfull) a paire of Buts, to stretch your armes.
{SN: Hearbes.}
Rosemary and sweete Eglantine are seemely ornaments about a Doore or
Window, and so is Woodbinde.
{SN: Conduit.}
