walled garden

“Del.

Yond is the Cardinall's window: This fortification

Grew from the ruines of an auncient Abbey:

And to yond side of the riuer, lies a wall

(Peece of a Cloyster) which in my opinion

Giues the best Eccho, that you euer heard;

So hollow, and so dismall, and withall

So plaine in the destinction of our words,

That many have supposde it is a Spirit

That answeres.”
