— Hor.
ON A FLOWER-GARDEN. 97 spreads its turgid top to give him a treat of vegetable marrow. The tendrils of the aecutuder^' creep into the sun j and, though basking in its hottest raySj they secrete for their master, and barrel up for his use, the most cooling juices of the soil. The deans stand firm like files of em- battled troops ; the peas rest upon their props like so many companies of invalids ; while both replenish their pods with the fatness of the earth, on purpose to pour it on thei
...r owner's table. Not one species, among all this variety of herbs, is a cumberer of the ground. Not a single plant but is good for food, or some way salutary.
With so beneficent an economy are the several periods of their ministration settled, that no portion of the year is left destitute of nourishing esculents. What is still more obliging, every portion of the year affords such es- culents as are best suited to the temperature of the air and the state of our bodies. Why then should the pos- sessor of so valuable a spot envy the condition of kings ?f since he may daily walk amidst rows of peaceable and obsequious, though mute subjects ; every one of which renders him some agreeable present, and pays him a willing tribute, such as is most happily adapted both to supply his wants and to regale his taste ; to furnish him at once with plenty and with pleasure.
