Close to the Gates a spacious Garden lies, From the Storms defended and inclement Skies; Four Acres was the allotted Space of Ground, Fenc\'d with a green Enclosure all around. Tall thriving Trees confessed the fruitful Mold: The reddening Apple ripens here to Gold, Here the blue Fig with luscious Juice overflows, With deeper Red the full Pomegranate glows, The Branch here bends beneath the weighty Pear, And verdant Olives flourish round the Year.

Quotes from the same author

Here, therefore, huge and mighty warrior though you be, here shall you die.
O Friends, be men, and let your hearts be strong And let no warrior in the heat of fight, Do what may bring him shame in others' eyes
once it slips through a man's clenched teeth.
And twins ev'n from the birth are Misery and Man!
Men grow tired of sleep, love, singing and dancing sooner than of war.
