		Even the three central chapters, for all their bewildering hunt of the quincunx through arts and sciences, buildings and beds, botany and zoology, are not long enough to be tedious, and, despite the prevailing motive, are too various to incur the charge of monotony.
		But a certain allowance must always be made in the praise of The Garden of Cyrus: in that of Urn Burial there is none necessary or even permissible.
		The purely historical part is much shorter than the corresponding portion of The Garden of Cyrus; and it seems relatively shorter still because of the more human interest of the subject, and the comparative, if not entire, absence of merely trivial scientific detail.

	Cyrus II of Persia
		Cyrus II the Great (about 576 - July, 529 BC) was a king of Persia, famous for his military prowess and mercy.
		The name "Cyrus" (a transliteration of the Greek Kυρoς) is the Greek version of the Persian Koroush or Khorvash meaning: "Like the sun" -- in Persian khour means "sun" and vash is a suffix of similarity.
		His title The Garden of Cyrus may well be a Royalist criticism upon the autocratic rule of Cromwell.

		Cyrus died in battle, but his empire was to reach its zenith long after his death and was buried at Pasargadae.
		Although Cyrus the Great was known to be a great conqueror, and a superb military commander, who founded the greatest empire the world has ever seen, but he is admired and lauded as a liberator rather than a conqueror.
		Cyrus had no thought of forcing conquered people into a single mould, and had the wisdom to leave unchanged the institution of each kingdom he attached to the Iranian Crown.

		It began, says Browne, as the practical horticultural innovation of its titular figure, Cyrus the Younger of Persia, who considered his two most important tasks as a leader to be the leading of armies and the tilling of the soil.
		Browne calls him a “lord of gardens”, and his initial quincuncial planting was devised to allow maximum air, light, and water to the trees.
		The Garden of Cyrus was published in the same volume with Urne-Buriall, and it has often been seen as a kind of companion-piece, a riposte in favour of life after the earlier essay's somber meditations on death and decay.

	Thomas Browne's The Garden of Cyrus
		The oft-quoted final sections of The Garden of Cyrus offer a striking example of Browne's virtuoso sensibility and of his way of composition: Midnight is at hand; in his study Sir Thomas is still working on his essay.
		As he explains in his dedication, Browne writes as a lover of gardens for another lover of gardens, - although at the time of composition he was probably not yet the owner of that well-kept garden which John Evelyn was to praise in his diary in October 1671.
		So in The Garden, too, he asks several speculative questions of the why-type, as for instance: "Why the form of the germe doth not answer the figure of the enclosing pulp, why the nebbe is seated upon the solid, and not the channeld side of the seed" (P: 352).

		And it is equally difficult to understand the missing of the humour in the famous prefatory declaration—that, “if elegancy still proceedeth … we shall, within few years, be fain to learn Latin to understand English”—by a man who, before he had finished, was to observe how something “handsomely sets forth the efficacy of assuefaction.”

		To the Greeks King Cyrus was a model ruler and an ideal 'philosopher King' who, not unlike the mythic 'thrice greatest' Hermes Trismegistus, possessed the triple merits of Warrior-Ruler, Priest and Philosopher.
		Cyrus was also reputed to know the names and faces of all his army, and this mnemonic gift, along with his humanism and tolerance, may well have been the inspiration for Browne to name his Discourse after him.
		Browne’s choice of Cyrus for the title of his Discourse may also be interpreted as the embodiment of his own ideal of the perfect King, at a time historically, when the English Parliament had abolished the rights of Kings.
