Calls idle, and who justly in return

Esteems that busy world an idler too!

Come into the garden, Maud,

For the black bat, night, has flown;

Come into the garden, Maud,

I am here at the gate alone.

And in her mind the wisest books.

Abraham Cowley (1618-1667): The Garden, ii.

There is a garden in her face,

Where roses and white lilies show;

A heavenly paradise is that place,

Wherein all pleasant fruits do grow.

There cherries hang that none may buy,

Till cherry ripe themselves do cry.

Again to the battle, Achaians!

Our hearts bid the tyrants defiance!

Our land, the first garden of Liberty's tree,

It has been, and shall yet be, the land of the free.

And man the hermit sigh'd—till woman smiled.
