I sawe, I sawe, the VVorld was but a Dream,When Heav'ns shrill Voice had rouz'd and rais'd my eies:
For, in the VVorld I found but Lies;
Eies clos'd, Ears stopt, Mindes inly toil'd extream;
All Dark, all Night: Man out of Man (in Cumber)
Himself with Fumes and Phant'sies feeding,
Not feeling Pains, nor Passions heeding;
Loth to bee waked from so sweet a Slumber.
