Excerpt from A Plain and Easy Introduction to the Knowledge and Practice of Gardening: With Hints on Fish-Ponds
When Gon did man to his own likenefs make, As much'as clay, tho' of the putefi kind, By the great potter's art refin'd) Could the divine imprefiion take, He thought it fit to place him, where A kind of heaven too did appear, As far as earth could fuch a likenefs bear That man no happinefs might want, Which earth to herfirli mailer could afford; He did a garden for him plant, By the quick hand of his omnipotent word As the chief help and joy of hiiman life, He gave'him the firli gift,-even before a wife.
And well he knew, what place would befi agree, With innocence and with felicity. And we elfewhere fiill feel: for them in vain, If any part of either yet remainl If any part of either we expect This may our judgment in the fearch direct; god the full gardezz'made, and the firfi ez{y,-cain.
