Revels


The king doth keep his revels here to-night. Shakespeare.—Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act II. Scene 1. (Puck.)	1
Our revels now are ended: these our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits, and Are melted into air, into thin air; And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve; And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind: We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep. Shakespeare.—Tempest, Act IV. Scene 1. (Prospero.)	2
