Full large to entertain a mouse;

But if it's enter'd by a rat,

There is no room to bring a cat.

Round your garden is a walk

No longer than a tailor's chalk;

One salad makes a shift to squeeze

Up through a tuft you call your trees,

And, once a year, a single rose

Peeps from the bud, but never blows.

In vain then you'll expect its bloom,
