“On the right of my house, a church like St. Paul's,
On the left, a castle I'll plan;
That the gentles may say, as they travel that way,
See the works of a marvellous man!
Blest retreat!

River stealing away unheard, and scarce seen! Gardens laid out in old Dutch style! Trees cropped; pleasure box in front; Apollos, Dragons, Cupids, Mermaids, and all that!

These are works of a marvellous man!
