“
For the ordering of the ground within the great hedge, I leave it to variety of device; advising, nevertheless, that whatsoever form you cast it into first, it be not too bushy, or full of work; wherein I, for my part, do not like images cut out in juniper or other garden stuff, they be for children. Little low hedges, round like welts, with some pretty pyramids, I like well; and in some places fair columns, upon frames of carpenter's work. I would also have the alleys spacious and fair. You may have closer alleys upon the side grounds, but none in the main garden. I wish, also, in the very middle, a fair mount, with three ascents and alleys, enough for four to walk abreast; which I would have to be perfect circles, without any bulwarks or embossments; and the whole mount to be thirty foot high, and some fine banqueting-house, with some chimneys neatly cast, and without too much glass. 去书内

    - General Principle: The layout within the great hedge allows for creative variety but should avoid being overly cluttered or elaborate. Topiary (animal/figure shapes cut from juniper) is dismissed as childish. - Preferred Features: - Low, rounded hedges ("welts") paired with small pyramids. - Elegant columns supported by wooden frameworks in select areas. - Spacious, grand main alleys; narrower alleys are only suitable for side grounds, not the central garden. - Central Mount: - A prominent, 30-foot-high mount positioned at the very center. - Features three circular ascents/alleys, wide enough for four people to walk side by side. - The mount and its paths should be perfectly circular, without any defensive bulwarks or decorative embossments. - Topped with a fine banqueting house, featuring neatly designed chimneys and a restrained use of glass (not excessively glazed).
