Dragons wer^ faid to be placed, there are continved fi ohi 
the Steps on one fide to the Steps on the other fide of the Cafcade, all 
round this fpace (which was faid to be paved with Pebbles, and to 
confift of the for^faid Stone Canals) two circles of Ssone of fourteen 
inches breadth, which do ferve inftead of a doul^le Border to the 
whole I the two Borders keeping the famediftance from one another 
throughout, as the Steps do make in front, or breadth. 
When we are up the fecond pair of Stairs of eleven Steps, vco. en- 
ter upon a Walk, that encompafles a large Quadrangular Pond, called 
the Viver, being the common Storehoufe of the Water that fuppJies fo 
many of thefe Fountains, Cafeades, and Canals. The Walk on the 
four fides of the Viver_ is feven yards broad ; it is a Gravelled Walk ^ 
and on the fide next to the Water it is adorned with Junipr-trees 
two yards high, and fix yards diftance from one another ; and on the 
other fide of it has Lime-trees at the fame diftance, befides large 
round Bullies between the Lime-trees. ' The Viver is a hundred and 
forty paces long, and threefcore and ten paces broad . It is bordered 
with green, and has- a green Sloj)e from the Border down to t/je 
Water- 
At the Weft-end of the Fiver, in the middle of the Walk, we do 
pafs through another Gate, the Bars partly Gilt, and partly Blew, 
into a long lliady Grove, ufually called the Queens Grove, wherein 
there_ are divers Walks^ fome near unto Brookj of a clear running 
Water, others at fome diftance from the Brookj, and all of them as 
folitary and retired, as can well be imagined. This Grove is of a 
good extent, and in the Summer-time very delightful. 
And now before we end, let us return unto the Eaft-gate of the 
Fowl-Garden, from whence we may enter North-weft into a long 
Walk between high Trees, there being a Grove on each fide beyond 
the rows of Trees. In this Walk, when we have gone about two 
hundred and twenty paces, and there crofs’d another long green Walk, 
towards the middle of this Walk, where the Groves do end, we do 
at length come to the Fountain of Faunus, whole Bafin is round, 
and about fifty feven foot diameter. 'In the middle of this Fountain 
there iseredfed the Statue of Faunus in Stone at length, with an In- 
fajit in his Arms, and a Goat at his Feet to fuckle the Infant. This 
Statue of Faunus does lean upon a Stone Pillar^ and (lands upon a 
high Pedeflal of a Blew Stone, placed in the mid ft of a Rock, confift- 
ing of many rough Stones, petrified Earth of divers colours, and 
large Shells here and there intermixed. From about this Rockwork 
there are made fix double ftieets of Water, whereof each double fall 
is over-againft a feveral Walk. For from this Fountain there are fix 
diftindt Walhj, one oppofite to another, ' And round about it, be-* 
tween each of thej^A: Walks, near the corners of the Waikj . there 
are placed two Statues in half-length of the Fermini, or Gods of* 
Boundaries, twelve in all ; fome of which twelve Statues have the-
