AN
ESSAY
ON THE
Incubus, or Night-mare.
By JOHN BOND, M. D.
Ac velut in somnis oculos ubi languida pressit
Nocte quies, necquicquam avidos extendere cursus
Velle videmur, et in mediis conatibus ægri
Succidimus; non Lingua valet non corpore notæ
Sufficiunt vires, nec vox nec verba sequuntur.
Virgil. Æneid. xii.
