    We figure to ourselves
    The thing we like, and then we build it up
    As chance will have it, on the rock or sand:
    For Thought is tired of wandering o'er the world,
    And homebound Fancy runs her bark ashore.

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.

He left a promise to return again
Within a read more

When last the young Orlando parted from you,
He left a promise to return again
Within a hour; and pacing through the forest,
Chewing the food of sweet and bitter fancy,
Lo, what befell!
