Of Fancy.  From an Ingenious Author.  Reason and
imagination, tho' they are very unlike each other. . . [3/4
column, in his imagination, he goes to Constantinople]  I
stole out of the Seraglio one moon-light night, and walked
five hundred leagues before morning; and then I arrived at a
certain King's court, where, by my good dancing, and my
skill in dress, I merited the King's daughter, and had her
given me for a wife; but she proved such an errant scold,
that there was no living with her; so we were divorced. . .
