In that same Gardin all the goodly flowres,
2 Wherewith dame Nature doth her beautifie,
And decks the girlonds of her paramoures,
4 Are fetcht: there is the first seminarie
Of all things, that are borne to liue and die,
6 According to their kindes. Long worke it were,
Here to account the endlesse progenie
8 Of all the weedes, that bud and blossome there;
But so much as doth need, must needs be counted here.
