another from the Great Garden, under the Terras-waJk, the third 
gees into a little Room, where a Couch is placed for Repofe, and 
thence we go into another Room adorned all over with abundanc;; 
of Force line, or China, 
The Aviary^\% expofed to the open Air, but incompalfed wich a 
fmall Grate, to confine the Birds ; and there is a place in the corner 
of the Grotto for the Birds to retreat into, from the Rain, or Wea- 
ther. 
On the Eaftfide of the Queen s Garden, there is another Garden for 
retirement, with Walks, and Hedges of Witch-Elm, about eight foot 
high ; into which we do pafs out of the former through a Gate of 
wrought Iron, painted Blew and Gilt. Turning in it Northwards 
ih the fecond Walk, we come to a Nobic Fountain, unto which we 
defeend by fix Steps ; but in the middle of thefe Steps there is a fmail 
fall of Water in fix defeents from a Fountain at the top of the Steps ; 
and from thence the Water runs in a fmall channel crofs the Waik 
that encompaffes the Fountain . w^hich I am going to deferibe. 
This Fountain is oblong, or of an Oval figure ; its diameter is in 
length twenty Paces, and it is about ten Paces wide. In the middle 
of this BaJJm there is a round Rock, of rough Stones, Shells, and 
Forgecinders, about a yard above the Water. Out of this 
there fprings a about five yards high, from the middle of 
it ; and from the other parts round' about this there do rife 
abundance of other Spouts. This Fotmtain is bordered with green 
Turf, on the Slope of which Border there are placed at due diftances 
fix fcollopt Shells of wrought Stone. Into all thefe Shells there is a 
fall of Water from the mouth of a wrought Head, joined to the Shell 
in one and the fame Stone; and from four parts of each Shell the 
Water falls into the Bafin of the Fountain, which is not paved at all, 
the bottom being only of Earth,- as the Border of it and the Slope 
we**e of Turf. 
Round this Fountain, next to the Hedge, and diredfly behind the 
forefaid fix Shells, there are fix Statutes in Stone, or fo many little 
ftanding upon high Pedeftals of wrought Stone; and at the 
bottom of each Pedeftal there is a fall of Water into a fmall fquare 
Sronc-bafin, from whence the Water runs under the Walk into one 
of the Heads and Shells that were before mentioned to be placed on 
the Slope below the Border. Thefirft of thefe Cupids is drinking out 
of a Stone-cup held in one hand, and has a.hunch of Grapes in the other. 
The fecond holds a Tulip in his right hand. The third is reading 
in a Bock^, through a pair of Spedfacles, held near the Book. The 
fourth has a Qky-thing in his hand. The fifth has a Snak;;, which 
he fqueezes 1®! in his Arms. And the fixth leans upon a Spade. 
Alfo round arbout this Fountain there are placed fifty Orange-trees 
in Frames*
