There the most daintie Paradise on ground,
2 It selfe doth offer to his sober eye,
In which all pleasures plenteously abound,
4 And none does others happinesse enuye:
The painted flowres, the trees vpshooting hye,
6 The dales for shade, the hilles for breathing space,
The trembling groues, the Christall running by;
8 And that, which all faire workes doth most aggrace,
The art, which all that wrought, appeared in no place.
