or Water-works; and beyond, with a circular Line of Pa- 

 4ifades or Wood-work, cut into a Goofe-foor, which leads

 rinths, Bowling-greens, and Amphitheaters, adorned with 

 Fountains, Canals, Figures, Which Works diftmguilh 

 a Garden very much from what is common, and contribute 

 -not. a little to render it magnificent.
