“Illustrious Fig, who's verdant Boughs did hide
“The new made Adam, and his charming Bride,
“Declining from their Pomp, and in their Ebb of Pride.
“They with thy salutif'rous Leaves were dress'd,
“Fair Robe, and next to Innocence the best;
“On thy sweet Fruit still roll'd their feasted Eyes,
“They call'd the best of unprohibit Trees:
“On thy green Boughs there's a perpetual Spring,
“There, sings the warbling Quires of ev'ry Wing,
“Who, with their joyful Notes, proclaim thee King.
“Woods, Rocks, and Mountains, with thy Praises ring,
“And Trees in Senate met have chos'n you King:
“Know, I one of the loyal British Trees,
“Am hither sent to spread the glad'ning News.
