Ode. Xviii. THE early history of the vine is involved in obscurity, Many people consider its native country to b...e Syria ; but this appears exceedingly doubtful. It has been supposed that the vine was trained and reared by the hand of man almost immediately after the subsiding of the great waters of the deluge, as we find recorded in the 9th chapter of Genesis, that "Noah began to be an husbandman, and planted a vineyard. " The early cultivation of the vine in Egypt is proved by the paintings on the ancient tombs. We have no account of its introduction into Greece, where ifc evidently flourished before the time of Homer; and it is supposed to have been introduced somewhat later into Italy, and spread from thence through the north of Europe, and into Great Britain, as the venerable Bede, writing in 731, makes mention of several vine- yards.
