ibofe Shells a gilded' Bajin inverted. Out of the middle of this 
(in the Water rifes in form of a Peacocl^s Tale (pread out at length, 
about a foot and a half above the inverted BaJin. This Fountain’ 
hath its Bafin bordered with Free-Fonc, fixteen inches broad, and 
its Stone-work raifed three or four inches. From the faid Border 
to the bottom of the Bahn, there is rough Rockwork of divers Co- 
lours. But the bottom it felf is bordered with White Marble ten 
inches round, and the reft of the bottom is paved with dark Pebble,, 
among which there are alfo intermixed Marble Stones in divers Fi- 
gures. 
As we do afcend from this Fountain forwards, we meet with a> 
Fall of Water from one femioval Stone Bafin, extended four foot and* 
a half in front, and placed between three Stone Steps on each fide: 
of it. At the four Corners of thofe Steps, Bafes are raifed for the- 
placing of Flower-pots. And round this Fountain there is a Green 
Slope equal to the heighth of the Steps, by which we defcend to, 
or afcend from the aforefaid Fountain. Farthermore, between thofe 
Steps and the Border of the Bafin to this Fountain, there, is a round 
Gravel Walk above four yards broad. 
Going ten Paces forwards beyond the former Cafcade^ we come 
to another, where the Water falls from Three Stone Ba/ins, one bel- 
low another ; whereof the uppermoft is about three foot in front, 
that in the middle four foot and a half, and the lowermoft five foov 
befides a farther extenlion of thefe Bafins on both fides, for the 
making of leffer Sheets of Water of eleven inches each in fronts 
which are likewife one below another in three defeents. Here is aR 
fo an afeent of five Stone Steps on both fides of the Water, with 
four Bafes at the four Corners of thofe Steps, for the placing of 
Flower-pots. 
So foon as we are up thefe Steps, we do prefently turn on the 
right and left of the Walk into Semicircular Galleries or Porticoes^ 
below which there are two Green Slopes^ one below the other ; and 
between thofe Slopes there are Flov.^er-pots difpofed the whole length 
of them. Each of thefe Galleries is forty paces long, and about fix 
yards broad ; and each of them isfupported by tvoenty Pillars. They 
are covered with Lead to fhelter from the Rain, and have White 
Ballifters four foot high upon the Leads, to which there is an afccnc 
by Stairs behind the Galleries. On the Wail within the Galleries-, 
there are drawn the Gods and Goddejfes at length in Frefco, thirteen 
of them in each Gallery. They are paved with White and Red 
Brick. At the farther end of them there is a defeent of feven Steps^ 
into the Garden. 
Beyond thefe Galleries the former Walk continues between Kitchen 
Gardens on our right and left, but we cannot fee them by reafon 
of a Hedge of Dutch ELm five yards high. Ac the farther end of
