Marvel not, my friend, if I utter things aërial and sublime; for I am recounting the wonders of my late journey.
FRIEND.
What! tracing your road by the stars, as the Phœnicians [{154}] do!
MENIPPUS.
Not so, by Jove! I have been amongst the stars themselves.
FRIEND.
You must have had a long dream, indeed, to travel so many leagues in it.
MENIPPUS.
It is no dream, I assure you; I am just arrived from Jupiter.
FRIEND.
