    Winning from Reason's hand the reins,
    Pity and woe! for such a mind
    Is soft contemplative, and kind.

Tell me where is fancy bred,
Or in the heart, or in the head?
How begot, how read more

Tell me where is fancy bred,
Or in the heart, or in the head?
How begot, how nourished?
Reply, reply.
It is engend'red in the eyes,
With gazing fed, and fancy dies
In the cradle where it lies.

One of the flesh, and of the spirit one.
