t was a perpetuall
running fountaine artificially deuysed of the aforesaid matter, but of
an other notable fashion and workemanshippe, founded vppon an immoueable
axeltree, vppon the which two wheeles turned about.

Aboue the which stood an vnequal quadrature three foot long, two foot
broad, and six foote high.

In euery angular part did sit a Harpie with both her winges extended and
stretched vp to the breadth of a higher vessell, standing vp vppon the
middest of the measured quadrangule, coronized at the extreme and vpper
parts, and beautified with chanelling and foliature, circumuesting the
lower part.

And vppon euerie side the same diuided into three, the middle parte
betwixt the fall of the waters intercepted, did contayne in halfe bodyes
carued, a tryumph of Satyres and Nymphes, with Trophees, and exquysite
actions, excepte the fore-part and hinder parte moderately sinuated and
bent in. The which in steade of squadred lyneament, did contayne a
roundnesse waued betweene, in the which was maruellously ingrauen a
little sacrifice with an olde Aultar on eyther sides, with manie figures
and actions, the rest that was voyde, the tayles of the foresayde
Harpyes ioyning togeather, and turning heere and there into leaues, did
excellently couer the same.

Out of the medyan center of the equature and quadrangule afore specified
and described out of an antyke folyature, did ryse vp an olde fashioned
vessell, and verie beautifull, the cyrcuite whereof did not exceede the
content of the quadrangulate playne, and this with all the rest of the
woorke, and euerie proportionate disquisition, tryall, and examination,
both in the highest breadth and thicknesse, with moste conuenient
vesseling lineamentes, diligently delymated and fyled, and then finished
with an absolute and depolyte deformation.

The which out of the suppressed orifice thereof did ascend vp an other
hollowe vessell, the compasse whereof did exceede the aforesaide subiect
vessell furrowed and channelled round about, of a great breadth and
large brymmes so wel fashioned, as is possible for any goldsmith to
beate out with his hammer.

In the center poynt whereof did rise and mount an other vessell of
incredible workemanship.

In the bottome of which thirde there were small ridges swelling
outwardes, the toppes of them compassed about with a row of diuerse
inestimable stones, bearing out and differing in colours, as best might
content the eye of a curious Lapi
