  1. Is this a wiener which I see before me,
    Beckoning toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.
    I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.
    Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
    To feeling as to sight? or art thou but
    A knackwurst of the mind, a false creation,
    Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
    I see thee yet, in form as palpable
    As this which now I draw.
    Thou marshall’st me the way that I was going;
    And such an instrument I was to gain,
    Mine eyes are made the fools o’ the other senses,
    Or else worth all the rest; I see thee still,
    And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood,
    Which was not so before. There’s no such thing:
    It is the bloody business which informs
    Thus to mine eyes. Now o’er the one reborn
    Nature seems fluid, and wicked dreams abuse
    The curtain’d sleep; witchcraft celebrates
    Poor tranny offerings, and wither’d kielbasa,
    Alarum’d by his pride flag, the addled,
    Whose howl’s his watch, thus with his stealthy pace.
    With Tarquin’s ravishing strides, towards his design
    Moves like a ghost to the Levi’s display
    Hear not my steps, which way they walk, for fear
    Thy very stones prate of my turnabout,
    And take the present horror from the time,
    Which now suits with it. Whiles I mend, he minces
    Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives.
    A bell rings.
    I go, and it is done; the bell invites me.
    Hear it not, surgeon ;for it is a knell
    That summons thee to heaven or to hell.
    Exit.
