Fancy.

The roving, pregnant, busie, teeming sence, The souls mint. The forge of shapes and dreams, Commanding Empress of the brain, ubiquitary, faculty. The immateriall Coyner. That makes a bodilesse Creation.

Bounld••sse, restlesse faculty, free from all engagements, digg•• without spade, sails without Ships, Flies without wings, builds with∣out charges, fights without bloodshed, in a moment striding from the Center to the circumference of the world, by a kind of omni∣potency creating and annihilating things in a moment, and marry∣ng things divorced in nature.
