74 THE SHAKESPEARE GARDEN 



Instruments and Voices gracing all the rest how 

 will you be rapt with delight ! 



"Large walks, broad and long, close and open, 

 like the Tempe groves in Thessaly, raised with 

 gravel and sand, having seats and banks of Camo- 

 mile, all this delights the mind and brings health 

 to the body. Your borders on every side hanging 

 and drooping with Raspberries, Barberries and Cur- 

 rants and the roots of your trees powdered with 

 strawberries red, white and green, what a pleas- 

 ure is this! 



"Your gardener can frame your lesser wood 

 (shrubs) to the shape of men armed in the field 

 ready to give battle, or swift-running greyhounds, 

 or of well-scented and true running hounds to chase 

 the deer or hunt the hare. This kind of hunting 

 shall not waste your corn nor much your coin. 



"Mazes, well formed, a man's height, may, per- 

 haps, make your friend wander in gathering of 

 berries till he cannot recover himself without your 

 help. 



"To have occasion to exercise within your 

 Orchard, it shall be a pleasure to have a Bowling- 

 Alley. 



"Rosemary and sweet Eglantine are seemly orna- 

 ments about a door, or window ; so is Woodbine.
