How well the skillful gard’ner drew
Of flowers and herbs this dial new;
Where from above the milder sun
Does through a fragrant zodiac run;
And, as it works, th’ industrious bee
Computes its time as well as we.
How could such sweet and wholesome hours
Be reckoned but with herbs and flowers!

6) According to Andrew Marvell (Late Disingenuous Discourse, 1678)

DEFINITION = BODY + SOUL, or
DEFINITION = GENUS + DIFFERENCE

“Definition always consists, as being a dialectical animal, of a body which is the genus, and a difference, which is the soul of the thing defined.”
