And while we went talking thus together, by little and little wee came to her house, and behold the gates of the same were very beautifully set with pillars quadrangle wise, on the top wherof were placed carved statues and images, but principally the Goddess of Victory was so lively and with such excellencie portrayed and set forth, that you would verily have thought that she had flyed, and hovered with her wings hither and thither. On the contrary part, the Image of the goddess Diana was wrought in white marble, which was a marvellous sight to see, for shee seemed as though the winde did blow up her garments, and that she did encounter with them that came into the house. On each side of her were Dogs made of stone, that seemed to menace with their fiery eyes, their pricked eares, their bended nosethrils, and their grinning teeth, in such sort that you would have thought they had bayed and barked. And moreover (which was a greater marvel to behold) the excellent carver and deviser of this worke had fashioned the Dogs to stand up fiercely with their former feet, and their hinder feet on the ground ready to fight.
