Evidence: | Letter to Mrs Macintosh June 19 1796 'At length I set up my rest under a broad spreading cedar, beside the statue of Diana which seemed to protect me. I thought of Dryden?s description: "The graceful goddess was array?d in green,/ About her feet were little beagles seen,/ That watch?d with upward eyes the motions of their queen."'
