To which we wake not till we sleep in death?

How if, I say, the senses we now trust

For date of sensible comparison,—

Ay, ev’n the Reason’s self that dates with them,

Should be in essence or intensity

Hereafter so transcended, and awoke

To a perceptive subtlety so keen

As to confess themselves befool’d before,

In all that now they will avouch for most?

One man—like this—but only so much longer
