LXV.

The Revelations of Devout and Learn’d
Who rose before us, and as Prophets burn’d,
    Are all but Stories, which, awoke from Sleep
They told their comrades, and to Sleep return’d.

LXVI.

I sent my Soul through the Invisible,
Some letter of that After-life to spell:
    And by and by my Soul return’d to me,
And answer’d “I Myself am Heav’n and Hell:”
