[If Wholsom Aire, Earth, woods, & pleasant Springs]

If Wholsom Aire, Earth, woods, & pleasant Springs
Are Elements, whereby a house is grac'd:
If strong and stately built, contentment brings,
Such is the house of Wilton, and so plac'd.
There Nature, Art, Art, Nature hath embrac'd;
Without, within, below, aloft compleat:
Delight and state, are there so enterlac'd
With rich content, which makes all good, and great
The Hangings there, with Histories repleat,
Diuine, profane, and Morall pleasures giuing-
With worke so liuely, exquifite, and neat,
As if mans Art made mortall creatures liuing.
In briefe, there all things are compos'd so well,
Beyond my pen to write, or tongue to tell.
