166 New Principles of Gardening. 
moft grand Parts of our Plantations, wherein they are a very 
great Enrichment. 
Though Cypreffes contiguous well appear , 
They better fbew, if planted not fo near. 
And fince to any Shape with Eafe they yield, 
What Bounds more proper to divide a Field ¢ 
Repine not Cypariffus then_in vain, 
For by your Change, you Glory did obtain. 
Silvanus aud this Boy with equal Fire, 
Did heretofore a lovely Hart admire: 
While in the cooler Paftures once it fed, 
An Arrow {bot at random firuck it dead. 
But when the Youth the dying Beaft had found, 
And knew himfelf the Author of the Wounds; 
With never-ceafing Sorrow he laments, 
And on his Breaft his Grief and Anger vents. 
Silvanus mov’d with the poor Creatures Fate, 
Converts his former Love to prefent Hate, Bae 
And no more Pity in bis angry Words, Seg 
Than to himfelf th’ afflitted Youth affords. | | 
Weary of Life, and quite oppre[s'd with woe, 
Upon the Ground his Tears m Channels flow: 
Which baving water’d, the productive Earth, 
The Cyprus firft from thence deriv’d its Birth, 
With Silvan’s Aid; nor was it only meant, 
T’ exprefs our Sorrow, but for Ornament. 
Chiefly when growing low your Fields they bound, 
Or when your Garden’s Avenues are crown'd, 
With their long Rows, fometimes it ferves to hide, 
Some Trench declining on the other Side. 
Th’ unequal Branches always 9s that green ; 
Of which its Leaves are ne'er devefted feen: 
Though {hook with Storms, yet tt unmov d remains. 
And by its Trial greater Glory gains.
