  ’This ground with Bacchus, that with Ceres suits;
  That other loads the trees with happy fruits,
  A fourth with grass, unbidden, decks the ground: 
  Thus Tmolus is with yellow saffron crown’d;
  India black ebon and white iv’ry bears;
  And soft Idume weeps her od’rous tears: 
  Thus Pontus sends her beaver stones from far: 
  And naked Spaniards temper steel for war: 
  Epirus for th’ Elean chariot breeds
  (In hopes of palms) a race of running steeds. 
  This is th’ original contract; these the laws
  Imposed by nature, and by nature’s cause.’
