This wealthy grove, the Royall Cedar grac’d,

Whose head was fix’d among the wandring stars,

Above loud Meteors and the elements Wars,

His root in th’Adamantine Center fast;

This all surpast

Crown’d Libanus; about him Elmie Peers,

Ash, Fir, and Pine, had flourish’d many years,

By him protected both from heat and cold.

Eternall plants, at least ten ages old,

All of one mind

And scorn’d the wind;

Here highly honour’d stood the sacred Oke,

Whom Swains invoke,

Which oracles, like that of Dodon, spoke.
