New Principles of Gardening. 
XXXV. The feveral Kinds of Foreft-Trees make beautiful 
Groves, as alfo doth many Ever-Greens, or both mix’d toge- 
ther; but none more beautiful than that noble Tree the 
ine. ; 
The Winds within the quiv’ring Branches playd, 
And dancing Trees, a mournful Mufick made. 
Lhe Place it felf was fuiting to his Care, 
‘Oncouth and favage as the cruel Fair: 
He wandred on, unknowing where he went, 
Loft in the Wood, and all on Love intent. 
XXXVI. In the Difpofition of the feveral Parts of Gardens 
in general, always oblerve that a perfect Shade be continued 
throughout, in fuch a Manner as to pafs from one Quarter to 
another, ©¢. without being obliged at any Time to pals thro’ 
the fcorching Kays of the Sun. 
‘Twas in a Grove of pleafant Pines he fray d; , 
O bleft Abodes! O dear delicious Shade! 
ad I for you, or you for me been made, 
How gladly would T fix my wandring Cour fe 
With you? How willing bear the World’s Divorce? 
And only bleft in yours, her Charms forget, 
Renounce her Pleafures, and to yours retreat. 
_ XXXVII. There is nothing adds fo much to the Beauty and 
Grandeur of Gardens, as fine Statues; and nothing more dif- 
agreeable, than when wrongly plac’d; as Neptune ona Ter- 
race-Walk, Mount, ce. or Pan, the God of Sheep, in a large 
Bafin, Canal, or Fountain. But to prevent fuch Abfurdities, 
take the following Dire@tions. 
For open Lawns and large Centers: | 
Mars, God of Battle, with the Goddels Fame; Jupiter, 
God of Thunder, with Venus, the Goddefs of Love and Beauty ; 
and the Graces Aglaio, Thalia, and Euphrofyne ; Apollo, God 
of Wifdom, with the nine Mufes, Cleia, Melpomene, Thalia, Eu- 
terpe, Terpficoce, Erato, Calliope Urania, and Polymnia ,
