The Dream.

[_]

Lope de vega.

To set my jealous Soul at strife
All things maliciously agree,
Though sleep of Death the Image be,
Dreams are the Portraiture of Life.

43

I saw, when last I clos'd my Eyes,
Celinda stoop t'anothers Will;
If specious Apprehension kill,
What would the truth without disguise?
The joyes which I should call mine own
Me thought this Rival did possesse:
Like Dreams is all my happinesse;
Yet Dreams themselves allow me none.
