    _Herbarum vires, primus te (magne Britanne)
      Edocuit medicas, inclytus arte sophus.
    Atque cluens herbis alter, Chironis alumnus,
      Descripsit plantas, neu cadat vlla salus.
    Fortunate senex, sis tu nunc tertius Heros
      Hortos qui referas, deliciasque soli,
    Et flores Veneris lætos, herbasque virentes,
      Arboreos fætus, pharmacum & arte potens.
    Posteritas iustos posthac tibi solvet honores,
      Laudabitque tuæ dexteritatis opus._

Amico suo _Ioanni Parkinsono_.

    _Extollunt alij quos (+Parkinsone+) labores
      Da mihi iam veniam comminuisse tuos.
    Extremos poteris credi migrasse per Indos:
      Cum liber haud aliud quam tuus hortus hic est:
    Ipse habitare Indos tecum facis, haud petis Indos
      I nunc, & tua me comminuisse refer.
    Est liber Effigies, tuus hic qui pingitur hortus,
      Digna manu facies hæc, facieque manus!
    Vidi ego splendentem varigatis vndique gemmis.
      Vna fuit Salomon, turba quid ergo fuit?
    Vt vario splendent Pallacia regia sumptu,
      Et Procerum turbis Atria tota nitent:
    Tunc cum festa dies veniam dedit esse superbis
      Quosque ficus texit, nunc tria rura tegunt:
    Plena tuo pariter spectatur Curia in Horto,
      Hic Princeps, Dux hic, Sponsaque pulchra Ducis.
    Quæque dies est festa dies, nec parcius vnquam
      Luxuriant, lauta hæc; Quotidiana tamen.
    Ecce velut Patriæ Paradisi haud immemor Exul,
      Hunc naturali pingit amore sibi.
    Pingit & ad vivum sub eodem nomine, & hic est
      Fronticuli sudor quem cerebrique dedit:
    Astat Adam medius Paradiso noster in isto
      Et species nomen cuique dat ipse suum.
    Hos cape pro meritis, qui florem nomine donas
      Æternum florens tu tibi Nomen habe._

    _Africa quas profert Plantas, quas India mittit,
      Quas tua dat tellus, has tuus hortus habet:
    Atque harum Species, florendi tempora, vires,
      Et varias formas iste libellus habet:
    Nescio plus librum talem mirabor, an hortum
      Totus inest horto mundus; at iste libro.
    Parkinsone tuus liber, & labor, & tua sit laus,
      Herbas dum nobis das; datur herba tibi._
