To his old Sire the Tiber-——
At Frefcati I had the Satisfaction of
seeing the First Sketch of Terfailles in
the Walks and Water-Works. The
Prospeft from it was doubtless much
more delightful formerly, when the Cam-
fania was set thick with Towns, Villas
and Plantations. Cicero's Tufculum was
at a Place call’d Grotto Ferrate, about
Two Miles off this Town, tho’ most
of the Modern Writers have fix’d it to
Frefcati. Nardini says, there was found
among the Ruins at Grotto Ferrate a
Piece of Sculpture which Cicero himself
mentions in one of his familiar Epistles.
In going to Frefcati we had a fair View
of Mount Algido.
On our Way to Palasirina we saw
the Lake Regillus, famous for the Ap-
parition of Caftor and Pollux^ who were
here seen to give their Horses Drink af-
ter the Battel between the Romans and
the Son-in-Law of Tar quin. At some
distance from it we had a View of the
