yeeres then the pleasure of an Orchard What can your eye desire to see your eares to hear your mouth to tast or your nose to smell that is not to be had in an Orchard with abundance and variety What more delightsome then an infinite variety of sweet smelling flowers decking with sundry colours the greene mantle of the Earth the vniuersall Mother of vs all so by them bespotted so dyed that all the world cannot sample them and wherein it is more fit to admire the Dyer then imitate his workemanship Colouring not onely the earth but decking the ayre and sweetning euery breath and spirit The Rose red damaske veluet and double double prouince Rose the sweet muske Rose double and single the double and single white Rose The faire and sweet senting Woodbinde double and single and double double Purple Cowslips and double Cowsl●ps and double double Cowslips Primerose double and single The Violet nothing behinde the best for smelling sweetly A thousand more will prouoke your content And all these by the skill of your Gardner so comely and orderly placed in your Borders and Squares and ●o intermingled that none looking thereon cannot but wonder to see what Nature corrected by Art can doe When you behold in diuers corners of your Orchard Mounts of stone or wood curiously wrought within and without or of earth couered with fruit-trees Kentish Cherry Damsons Plummes c. with staires of precious workmanship And in some corner or moe a true Dyall or Clocke and some Anticke-workes and especially siluer-sounding Musique mixt Instruments and voices gracing all the rest How will you be rapt with delight Large Walkes broad and long close and open like the Tempe groues in Thessalie raised with grauell and sand hauing seats and bankes of Cammomile all this delights the minde and brings health to the body View now with delight the workes of your owne hands your fruit-trees of all sorts loaden with sweet blossomes and fruit of all tasts operations and colours your trees standing in comely order which way soeuer you looke Your borders on euery side hanging and drooping with Feberries Raspberries Barberries Currens and the rootes of your trees powdred with Strawberries red white and greene what a pleasure is this Your Gardner can frame your lesser wood to the shape of men armed in the field ready to giue battell or swift running Greyhounds or of well sented and true running Hounds to chase the Deere or hunt the Hare This kind of hunting shall not waste your corne nor much your coyne Mazes well framed a mans height may perhaps make your friend wander in gathering of berries till he cannot recouer himselfe without your helpe To haue occasion to exercise within your Orchard it shall be a pleasure to haue a Bowling Alley or rather which is more manly and more healthfull a paire of Buts to stretch your armes Rosemary and sweete Eglantine are seemely ornaments about a Doore or Window and so is Woodbinde Looke Chapter 5 and you shall see the forme of a Conduite If there were two or more it were not amisse And in mine opinion I could highly commend your Orchard if either through it or hard by it there should runne a pleasant Riuer with siluer streames you might sit in your Mount and angle a peckled Trout or sleightie Eele or some other dainty Fish Or moats whereon you might row with a Boate and fish with Nettes Store of Bees in a dry and warme Bee-house comely made of Fir-boords to sing and sit and feede vpon your flowers and sprouts make a pleasant noyse and sight For cleanely and innocent Bees of all other things lone and become and thriue in an Orchard If they thriue as they must needes if your Gardiner bee skilfull and loue them for they loue their friends and hate none but their enemies they will besides the pleasure yeeld great profit to p●y him his wages Yea the increase of twenty Stockes of Stooles with other fees● will keepe your Orchard You need not doubt their stings for they h●rt not whom they know and they know their keeper and acquaintance If you like not to come amongst them you need not d●ubt them for but neere the●r store and in their owne defence they will not fight and in that case onely and who can blame them they are m●nly and figh● desperately Some as that Honorable Lady at Hacknes whose name doth much● grace mine Orchard vse to make seates for them in the stone wall of their Orchard or Garden which is good but wood is better A Vine ouer-shadowing a seate ●●is very comely though her Grapes with vs ripe slowly One chiefe grace that adornes an Orchard I cannot let slip A brood of Nightingales who with their seuerall notes and tunes with a strong delightsome voyce out of a weake body will beare you company night and day She loues and liues in hots of woods in her hart She will helpe you to cleanse your trees of Caterpillers and all noysome wormes and flyes The gentle Robin●red-brest will helpe her and in winter in the coldest stormes will keepe a part Neither wi●l the silly Wren be behind in Summer with her distinct whistle like a sweete Recorder to cheere your spirits The Black-bird and Th●estle for I take it the Thrush sings not but deuoures sing loudly in a May morn●●●● and delights the eare much and you neede not 〈◊〉 their company if you haue ripe Cherries or Berries and would ●s gladly as the rest do you pleasure But I had rather want their company than my fruit What shall I say A thousand of pleasant delightes are attendant in an Orchard and sooner shall I be weary then I can recken the least part of that pl●asure which one that hath and loues an Orchard may find therein What is there of all these few that I haue reckoned which doth not please the eye the eare the smell and taste And by these sences as Organes Pipes and windowes these delights are carried to refresh the gentle generous and noble mind To conclude what ioy may you haue that you liuing to such an age shall see the blessings of God on your labours while you liue and leaue behind you to heires or successors for God will make heires such a worke that many ages after your death shall record your loue to their Countrey And the rather when you consider Chap. 14. to what length of time your worke is like to last FINIS THE COVNTRY HOVSE-VVIFES GARDEN Containing Rules for Hearbs and Seedes of common vse with their times and seasons when to set and sow them TOGETHER With the Husbandry of
