 | The Grecian Story |  |
Forth strait they Went to Gallant Water-grot,
Conjoyned Grove, Gondace's Order'd Plot;
Fine Summer-house, with Trees encompass'd round;
Space left for Walk; where on the Shaded ground
(Choice Turf withal) carv'd Fountains store beheld,
In Circle rang'd, whose Curious Art excell'd.
Six 'bout the Room, shewn Dancing Streams from far,
(Joyn'd Murmur's noise) like Watry Theatre
That Room it self with costly Marble shin'd,
Pictures, Rock-work, for pleasant Bow'r design'd.
