New Principles of Gardening. 
Thus fays Ravin of the Gardener. 
Nor knows he well to make his Garden {bine 
With ali Delights, who fragrant Feffemime 
Negleéts to bert, cuberein heretofore 
Pidaprions Bees laid up their precious Store. 
Unlefis with Poles you fix it to the Wall, 
Its own deceitful Trunk will quickly fall. 
Thefe Shrubs, like wanton Ivy, firll mount high, 
But wanting Strength, on other Props rely. 
The pliant Branches which they always bear, 
Make them with Eafe to any Thing adhere. 
The pleafing Odors which their Flow’rs expire, 
Make the young Nymphs and Matrons them defire, 
Thofe to adorn themfelves withall ; but thefe 
To grace the Altars of the Deities. |
