Going ftiH Northwards about thirty Paces from this Fountain^ 
we come at the end of this Walk to a Statue of Venus at length, a. 
little (looping, and holding Cupid by both hands. The Venus is 
placed on a Stone Pedeftal, and out of a wrought Head at the bot^ 
tom of the Pedeftal, there is a fall of Water into a finall Stone-bafin. 
A little Eaftward of this Statue of Venus, there is another Foun^ 
tain in a fquare Stone- bafin. In the middle of it there is a fmall fall, 
of Water from a round Stone-bafin, whence the Water does fall, 
equally all round in one (heet. And befides another Cafeade that is- 
here made out of a Head into a large Bafin, there are five other falls- 
of Water from out of the Walls of this Fountain, each of them 
about a foot in breadth. 
CHAP. VI. 
Of the Y oXizvc, Fowl-Garden. 
A t the Weft-end of the Middle Walk that divides the Great^ 
Garden into two Parts, we pafs through a Gate of wrought 
Iron, into a Walk between high Trees, that goes Southward into 
the firft Labyrinth, deferibed in the Fourth Chapter, and North- 
wards as far as the Heath, that is beyond all the Gardens, 
At this Garden-gate, we behold the Old Hbo/ diredlly before us- 
Weftward, but are feparated from it by two Moats, between which 
there are five rows of Lime-trees ; on the South of which the Laby- 
rinth is feared, and on the North the Fowl Garden, that is now to be 
deferibed. 
Advancing from the forefaid Gate fifty paces North- wards, we. 
turn to the Gate of the Fowl Garden on our left, to which we pafs 
on a Bridge over the Moat. This Gate is likewife of wrought Iron, 
painted Blew and Gilt. Going.from this Gate two and twenty 
paces, we defeend by three Steps to a Noble Fountain and Cafeade, 
round which Fountain from the bottom of the Steps to the ^rder 
of its Bafin there is a Walk twelve foot and a half broad, into which 
Walk there are four defcenis by three Steps, four oppofite ways : 
And between the one and the other row of Steps there is a Green 
Slope round the Fountain. 
The Bafin of this Fouyiiain is oblong, or ova!, and of a great cir- 
cunaference, the Diameter at Jeaft forty paces in length, and about 
twenty four paces in breadth. It is defigned for tl^ ufe of divers 
forts of Fowl 'y and there are Houfes built on the fides of thi.? 
Garden, for (heltering the Fowl. In the middle of this Fountain 
there is a Jette^ that throws up the Water about twenty foot ; and:
