Of the King’s Garden, aether TVeftvard of it'i 
called the Labyrinth. 
O N the Weft-fide of the Palace, under His Majefi/s Apart- 
ments, there is a Garden called the K/^gs Garden y v/hich 
coniifts of two Divifions. The one has three Parterres, and a Fomi- 
tain near the middle of them. The other is a large Bovoling-green. 
The three Parterres do confift of Beds of Flowers, bordered with 
•"Box in divers Figures, with Pyramids of Juniper, or Box, in many 
parts of them. ^ The Fountain is bordered with white Marble, thir- 
teen Inches broad : In the middle of this Fountain there is a gilded 
Triton, holding under his left Arm a gilded Dolfhin, out of whofe 
Mouth fprings a Jette, that throws up the Water about fix foot high. 
On the border oi this Fountain there are placed at convenient diftances 
eight gilded Sea^Dragons^ every one fpirting the Water upon the 
Triton in the middle. 
The Bowling-green lies on the South-fide of this Garden, and has. 
the Kjng Stables adjoining on two fides of it. 
At the Weft-end of the Gravel-walk, that is between- the King’s 
Garden and the Bowling-green, we do pafs through a Gate of Iron 
Rails, partly gilded, and partly painted Blew, into another Garden, 
called the Labyrinth, or Wildernefs. 
When we have here crofs’d a Gravel* walk, a Hedge, and a Green- 
walk, we come to an afeent of three Stone-fteps, on both fides of 
which there is a Stone Fabrick with Ballifters in the middle, and 
four wrought Flowerpots covered, one on each fide of the Ballifters. 
From the Stone-work on each fide of the Steps, the Water falls from 
three Marble Heads into a common Bafin bordered and walled with 
Stone ; in each of thefe Bafins there are two Sfouts which do throw” 
up the Water fix foot high. 
Advancing Weftward from tlve faid Steps about thirty fix Paces, 
we come to a Fountain, in the middle of which there are four Sea- 
Cupids in Stone, fitting on four Dolphins^ Between the Cupids there 
rifes a Sfout cut of a Serpent s Head, that throws up the Water about 
five foot, and out of every Noftril of the four Dolphins there do run 
other little Spouts. The Border of the Bafin of this Fountain is of 
raifed Stone- work ; and it is paved with white Pebbles, but towards 
the'Angles (the Bafin being odlangular) there are Figures of large 
Flowerdeluces in a dark Pebble, 
At this Fountain there are eight feveral Pf^alkj to be feen, between 
Hedges of an equal heighth, all the Hedges btdng between feven-
