Their Supper done, Both walk'd forth contented
To view the Ground, thus briefly represented.
Large Green there was, Long-square i'th' midst did rest
Small, handsome Pond, four-squared Form exprest.
Clear, smooth as Glass; 'bout that low Mount was rais'd
For broader Walk; the sides adorned, prais'd.
Through well set, comely Trees; those order'd so,
That every Third did pleasant Fruit-tree grow.
Like Gems to th' Rest, or painted part, as 'twere,
First glanced or might Orchard-Grove appear.
