thdrawing chambers,
parlours, bathes, librarie and pinacloth, where coat Armors escuchions,
painted tables, and counterfeates of strangers were kept, & with a
maiestical comelines and order placed and solemnely distributed.

In which conceiuing capacitie, maruellous performance, incredible charge
and high commendation of the most excellent Artificer, woorthily allowed
in euerie partition and elegant conuention of exquisite Lineaments. I
also beheld a marueilous twisted conlignation or couering of gold-smiths
work, ouer a foure square plaine Court, growing vp alike, without
comparison like a heauen, with a disposite distance of many sorted
proportions, with sundry lybellated Dimensions, shadowing ouer the
Court, with an Arched Eminence, which was vnder, adorned with coronised
Lyneaments and grauings, thereunto conuenient, as Fasheols, Gululles,
and Oualling, and the leaues of _Achanthus_, licking vp as it were in
the corners of the quadranguled Court. With Roses and the growing order
of their leaues, the top leafe least, their iaggings about the leaues,
and space betweene leafe and leafe. All thinges couered with pure fine
gold and Azure colour, with diuers other proportions and counterfets of
substance, equal with their workemanship. The roofing of _Salances_ King
of _Colchis_, may not compare with this.

Then the delightful fruitfulnes of the set hedges, Orchards, watered
Gardens, springing Fountaines, current streames in Marble Channelles,
conteined, framed, and held in, with an incredible Art, greene Hearbes,
still freshe and flowering, a sweete ayre, warme and spring windes, with
a confused charme of singing and chirping birdes, a pure, faire and
bright aire, and stil continuing temperate and healthfull, country free
from danger and cleane, No craggy nor rockie places, nipt and blasted
with sharpe windes, nor burnt with an vntemperate hotte Sunne, but vnder
a sweet and pleasant temperature, in a moderate meane reioycing, betwixt
two extreemes, the fields fruitful and without tillage and manuring,
yeelding all commodities, warme hilles, greene woods and sweet coole
shadowes.

Also the inestimable furniture, the attendant housholde and great
number, their excellent seruice, the diuersitie of youthes, and all in
the prime of their yeares. The delightfull presence of the Nymphes, both
attending abroad in the presence and chambers, her baser sort, their
honourable and gracious behauiours, their diuersitie of apparrel,
