Part 6 (1/2)

_Mem._ I dye my self then, Beside there's reason--

_Chi._ Oh!

_Mem._ I pray thee tell me, For thou art a great Dreamer.

_Chi._ I can dream, Sir, If I eat well and sleep well.

_Mem._ Was it never By Dream or Apparition open'd to thee--

_Chi._ He's mad.

_Mem._ What the other world was, or _Elyzium_?

Didst never travel in thy sleep?

_Chi._ To Taverns, When I was drunk o're night; or to a Wench, There's an _Elyzium_ for ye, a young Lady Wrapt round about ye like a Snake: is that it?

Or if that strange _Elyzium_ that you talk of Be where the Devil is, I have dream't of him, And that I have had him by the horns, and rid him, He trots the Dagger out o'th' sheath.

_Mem._ _Elyzium_, The blessed fields man.

_Chi._ I know no fields blessed, but those I have gain'd by.

I have dream't I have been in Heaven too.

_Mem._ There, handle that place; that's _Elyzium_.

_Chi._ Brave singing, and brave dancing, And rare things.

_Mem._ All full of flowers.

_Chi._ And Pot-herbs.

_Mem._ Bowers for lovers, And everlasting ages of delight.

_Chi._ I slept not so far.

_Mem._ Meet me on those banks Some two days hence.

_Chi._ In Dream, Sir?

_Mem._ No in death, Sir.

And there I Muster all, and pay the Souldier.

Away, no more, no more.

_Chi._ G.o.d keep your Lords.h.i.+p: This is fine dancing for us.

_Enter_ Siphax.

_Si._ Where's the General?
