One would haue thought, (so cunningly, the rude

And scorned parts were mingled with the fine,)

That nautre had for wantonesse ensude

Art, and that Art nature did repine;

So striuing each th'other to vndermine,

Each did the others worke more beautifie;

So diff'ring both in willes, agreed in fine:

So all agreed through sweet diuersitie,

This Gardin to adorned with all varietie.

by Edmund Spenser from The Faerie Queene

Book II, Canto xii
