And in the thickest couert of that shade,
2 There was a pleasant arbour, not by art,
But of the trees owne inclination made,
4 Which knitting their rancke braunches part to part,

Fashiond aboue within their inmost part,
8 That nether Ph{oe}bus beams could through them throng,
Nor Aeolus sharp blast could worke them any wrong.
