All things to man’s delightful use; the roof
Of thickest covert was inwoven shade,
Laurel and myrtle, and what higher grew
Of firm and fragrant leaf; on either side
Acanthus and each odorous, bushy shrub,
Fenced up the verdant wall, each beauteous flower,
Iris all hues, roses and jessamin
Rear’d high their flourish’d heads between and wrought
Mosaic; under foot the violet,
Crocus and hyacinth with rich inlay
