from thence, on the shoar towardes the factory seraglio is a
fair large fountain ; just by it a garden new empaled, and

Lotus, horse chesnut, cherry, beach, and other trees ; there
are new taken in two or three vinyards. There are several
Arbors cover'd with vines of delicate grapes. The Bustange2
