subterranean grotts & rocks, where are represented 

 severall objects in the manner of sceanes, and other 

 motions by force of water, shewn by the light of 

 torches onely ; amongst these is Orpheus, with his 

 musiq, & the animalls, which dance after his harp ; in 

 the second is the King and Dolphin (Dauphin); in 

 the third is Neptune sounding his trumpet, his charriot 

 drawne by sea-horses ; in the fourth Perseus & Andro- 

 meda ; mills ; hermitages ; men fishing ; birds chirp- 

 ing ; and many other devices. There is also a dry 

 grott to refresh in, all having a fine prospect towards 

 the river and the goodly country about it, especially the 

 forrest. At the bottom is a parterre ; the upper tarrace 

 neere half a mile in length, with double declivities, 

 arch'd and baluster'd with stone, of vast and royal cost. 

 In the Pavilion of the new Castle are many faire 

 roomes, well paynted, and leading into a very noble 

 garden and parke, where is a pall-maill, in the midst 

 of which, on one of the sides, is a Chapell, with stone 

 cupola, tho' small, yet of an handsome order of archi- 

 tecture. Out of the parke you goe into the forrest, 

 which being very large is stor'd with deare, wild 

 boares, wolves, and other wild game. The Tennis 

 Court, and Cavalerizzo for the menag'd horses, are 

 also observable.
