I Cried to Dream Again
Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,<br />Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight, and hurt not.<br />Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments<br />Will hum about mine ears; and sometime voices,<br />That, if I then had waked after long sleep,<br />Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,<br />The clouds methought would open, and show riches<br />Ready to drop upon me; that, when I waked,<br />I cried to dream again.<br /><br />William Shakespeare (<i>The Tempest, Act III, Scene II</i>)
