9 a Cyrus-Garden, Or 



many conceptions elevated, above the 

 plane of the Earth, 



Nebucbodovofor whom fome will have 

 to be the famous Syrian King of Di odo- 

 rut, beau tifully repaired that City ^ and 

 fo magnificently built his a banging gar* 

 dens 5 that from fuccecding Writers he 

 had the honour of the firft* From 

 whence over-looking Bafylon, and all 

 the Region about it, he found no cir- 

 cumfcription to the eye of his ambition, 

 rill over-delighted with the bravery of 

 this Paradife; in his melancholy meta- 

 morphofis, he found the folly of that 

 delight, and a proper punifb mem, in the 

 contrary habitation, in wilde plantations 

 and wandrings of the fields* 



The Perfi*n Gallants who dcftroyed 

 this Monarchy, maintained their Bota- 

 nicall bravery * Unto whom we owe 

 the very name of Paradife: wherewith 

 we meet not in Scripture before the time 

 tf Solomon i and conceived originally 

 ferfian. The word for that difputed 

 Garden, expreffing in the Hebrew no 

 more then a Field cnclofed, which from 

 the fame Root is content to derive a gar 

 den and a Buckler*
