Calas. 'Twas not a dream or such like fantasy, As oftentimes invades and creeps into The minds of men, when Morpheus shuts their eyes, That took me last night napping in my bed: No, twas no dream, but a true apparition. I saw Apollo, and Diana both Appear before me, and with them they brought Theagenes and fair Cariclea, Apollo gave me him, Diana her, With this command, go take these young folks with thee, And haste thee home unto thy native country, Tis time, for so the Destinies command, Love them as if they were thy natural children, And when thou comest to Egypt, lead them further, Where it shall please us gods to give direction; With that they vanished, and a token gave That it was not a dream, or a false vision: Immortal powers, your hests I will obey, If you vouchsafe to point me out the way. one knocks.
