Unto a pleasant grove or such like placeA
Where here the curious cutting of a hedgeB
There by a pond the trimming of the sedgeB
Here the fine setting of well shading treesC
The walks there mounting up by small degreesC
The gravel and the green so equal lieD
It with the rest draws on your ling'ring eyeD
Here the sweet smells that do perfume the airE
Arising from the infinite repairE
Of odoriferous buds and herbs of priceF
As if it were another ParadiseF
So please the smelling sense that you are fainG
Where last you walk'd to turn and walk againH
There the small birds with their harmonious notesI
Sing to a spring that smileth as she floatsI
For in her face a many dimples showJ
And often skips as it did dancing goJ
Here further down an over arched alleyK
That from a hill goes winding in a valleyK
You spy at end thereof a standing lakeL
Where some ingenious artist strives to makeL
The water brought in turning pipes of leadM
Through birds of earth most lively fashionedN
To counterfeit and mock the sylvans allO
In singing well their own set madrigalP
This with no small delight retains your earQ
And makes you think none blest but who live thereE
Then in another place the fruits that beK
In gallant clusters decking each good treeK
Invite your hand to crop some from the stemR
And liking one taste every sort of themR
Then to the arbours walk then to the bowersS
Thence to the walks again thence to the flowersS
Then to birds and to the clear spring thenceT
Now pleasing one and then another senseT
Here one walks oft and yet anew begin'thU
As if it were some hidden labyrinthV
So loath to part and so content to stayW
That when the gard'ner knocks for you awayW
It grieves you so to leave the pleasures in itX
That you could wish that you had never seen itX
