CVI.

As for the rest, to come to the conclusion

Of this true dream, the telescope is gone[hu]

Which kept my optics free from all delusion,

And showed me what I in my turn have shown;

All I saw farther, in the last confusion,

Was, that King George slipped into Heaven for one;

And when the tumult dwindled to a calm,

I left him practising the hundredth psalm.

Ra Oct. 4, 1821.
