ABSTRACT

I dream’d there was an Emperor Antony: O! such another sleep that I might see But such another man… His face was as the heavens.. His legs bestrid the ocean; his rear’d arm Crested the world; .. For his bounty, There was no winter in’t, an autumn ‘twas That grew the more by reaping; his delights Were dolphin-like, they show’d his back above The element they liv’d in; in his livery Walk’d crowns and crownets, realms and islands were As plates dropp’d from his pocket… Think you there was, or might be, such a man As this I dream’d of?
