306.34

Ne needs there Gardiner to set, or sow,
2 To plant +or+ prune: for of their owne accord
All things, as they created were, doe grow,
4 And yet remember well the mightie word,
Which first was spoken by th'Almightie lord,
6 That bad them to increase and multiply:
Ne doe they need with water of the ford,
8 Or of the clouds to moysten their roots dry;
For in themselues eternall moisture they imply.
