ll see the forme of a Conduite. If there
were two or more, it were not amisse.

{SN: Riuer.}
{SN: Moats.}
And in mine opinion, I could highly commend your Orchard, if either
through it, or hard by it there should runne a pleasant Riuer with
siluer streames; you might sit in your Mount, and angle a peckled Trout,
or fleightie Eele, or some other dainty Fish. Or moats, whereon you
might row with a Boate, and fish with Nettes.

{SN: Bees.}
Store of Bees in a dry and warme Bee-house, comely made of Fir-boords,
to sing, and sit, and feede vpon your flowers and sprouts, make a
pleasant noyse and sight. For cleanely and innocent Bees, of all other
things, loue and become, and thriue in an Orchard. If they thriue (as
they must needes, if your Gardiner bee skilfull, and loue them: for they
loue their friends, and hate none but their enemies) they will, besides
the pleasure, yeeld great profit, to pay him his wages Yea, the increase
of twenty Stockes or Stooles, with other fees will keepe your Orchard.

You need not doubt their stings, for they hurt not whom they know, and
they know their keeper and acquaintance. If you like not to come amongst
them, you need not doubt them: for but neere their store, and in their
owne defence, they will not fight, and in that case onely (and who can
blame them?) they are manly, and fight desperately. Some (as that
Honorable Lady at _Hacknes_, whose name doth much grace mine Orchard)
vse to make seates for them in the stone wall of their Orchard, or
Garden, which is good, but wood is better.

{SN: Vine.}
A Vine ouer-shadowing a seate, is very comely, though her Grapes with vs
ripe slowly.

{SN: Birds.}
{SN: Nightingale.}
{SN: Robin-red-brest.}
{SN: Wren.}
One chiefe grace that adornes an Orchard, I cannot let slip: A brood of
Nightingales, who with their seuerall notes and tunes, with a strong
delightsome voyce, out of a weake body, will beare you company night and
day. She loues (and liues in) hots of woods in her hart. She will helpe
you to cleanse your trees of Caterpillers, and all noysome wormes and
flyes. The gentle Robin-red-brest will helpe her, and in winter in the
coldest stormes will keepe a part. Neither will the silly Wren be behind
in Summer, with her distinct whistle (like a sweete Recorder) to cheere
your spirits.

{SN: Black-bird.}
{SN: Thrush.}
The Black-bird and Threstle (for I take it the Thrush sings not, but
deuoures) sing loudly in a _May_ morning and delights
