Right in the middest of that Paradise,
2 There stood a stately Mount, on whose round top
A gloomy groue of mirtle trees did rise,
4 Whose shadie boughes sharpe steele did neuer lop,
Nor wicked beasts their tender buds did crop,
6 But like a girlond compassed the hight,
And from their fruitfull sides sweet gum did drop,
8 That all the ground with precious deaw bedight,
Threw forth most dainty odours, and most sweet delight.
