Calloph. You do not certainly attend to his Use: He stands there to receive the Eye placed at the other End of that Opening.—That elegant little Building I think they call Nelson's Seat.
Polypth. The Painting is done masterly enough: The Inscriptions, I see, explain the Designs. Those Boys fixing the Trophies are prettily imagined. From hence that round Building terminates the View extremely well. Let us walk to it.
Calloph. Hold——turn to the Right a little: We must first pay a Visit here to the Temple of Bacchus.
Polypth. We have had a pretty long Walk, suppose we sit down here a Moment: These Walls seem to promise us some Entertainment.
Calloph. Here, Sir, you see represented the Triumphs and Happiness of Drunkenness. Those musical Ladies too are not improper Companions to this mirthfully-disposed Deity.
Polypth. Some of those smaller Figures are really done extremely well: And those two Vases are delightfully touched. I cannot say I am so much pleased with the jolly Inhabitant: Even Bacchus himself certainly never made so enormous a Figure.
Calloph. I am admiring the fine View from hence: So great a Variety of beautiful Objects, and all so happily disposed, make a most delightful Picture. Don't you think this Building too is a very genteel one, and is extremely well situated? These Trees give it an agreeable, cool Air, and make it, I think, as elegant a Retreat for the Enjoyment of a Summer's Evening, as can well be imagined.——But it is mere trifling to sit here: Let us walk towards the Rotunda.——This little Alley will carry us to Dido's Cave.
Polypth. Dido's Cave! why 'tis built of hewn Stone! Here she is however, and her pious Companion along with her.
Calloph. Those two Cupids joining their Torches, I never see but I admire extremely: they are very finely painted.
