Winding up the fide of the hill, you look 

 down on a romantic irriguous woody val- 

 ley; hearing the noife of falUng water, but 

 feeing none. Coming to a bench, you juft 

 look down to the right on a gufhing ftrcam 

 half covered with trees ; in front, Ve7ius 

 emboibm'd in a fweet hollow of wood. 



Windin2: round the fides of the river, 

 you come to the Palladian bridge ; a por- 

 tico'd temple of the ionic order ; the view 

 admirably fine. You look full upon a 

 beautiful cafcade, broke into two fheets by 

 a rock, which falls into the water over 

 which the bridge is thrown. A little above 

 this a piece of wild ground is half feen, 

 and further on a beautiful lawn, at the 

 end of which a fine green fwelling hill, 

 upon which ftands the rotunda : the line 

 of view to thefe objedis is through a thick 

 tall wood, which gives a folemn brown- 

 nefs to the whole fcene, very noble. The 

 infcription : 



" Viridantia Tempe, 

 " Tempe quas fylv^E cingunt fuper impen- 

 dentes/' 



Leaving this exqulfite fpot, you turn 

 through a grove by feveral flight water- 

 falls, and come out not far from the houfe.
