AN APOLOGY FOR MY GARDEN .
The jessamine, sweet-brier, woodbine, and rose,Are all that the west of my garden bestows;
And all on the east, that I have or desire,
Are the woodbine and jessamine, blush-rose and brier;
For variety little could add to the scent,
And the eye wants no change where the heart is content.
