��XVIII. THE SPIRIT.

��"~P IS whiter than an Indian pipe, -*- 'T is dimmer than a lace ;

No stature has it, like a fog, When you approach the place.

Not any voice denotes it here,

Or intimates it there ; A spirit, how doth it accost?

What customs hath the air?

��This limitless hyperbole Each one of us shall be ;

'T is drama, if (hypothesis) It be not tragedy !
