_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.

_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.

_Chi._ G.o.d keep your Lords.h.i.+p: This is fine dancing for us.
_Enter_ Siphax.
_Si._ Where's the General?
