On Lord COBHAM'S Gardens.

By the Same.
1 IT puzzles much the sages' brains,
2 Where Eden stood of yore;
3 Some place it in Arabia's plains,
4 Some say, it is no more.
[Page 257]
5 But Cobham can these tales confute,
6 As all the curious know;
7 For he has prov'd beyond dispute,
8 That paradise is STOW.
