| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare: When thou wast stolne away from Fairy Land,
And in the shape of Corin, sate all day,
Playing on pipes of Corne, and versing loue
To amorous Phillida. Why art thou heere
Come from the farthest steepe of India?
But that forsooth the bouncing Amazon
Your buskin'd Mistresse, and your Warrior loue,

To giue their bed ioy and prosperitie
Ob. How canst thou thus for shame Tytania.
Glance at my credite, with Hippolita?

he staggered, shrieked, and fell. The waters closed over his cry,
and the moaning of the river rose wildly into the night as it
gushed over

"The lights again! this time I, too, saw them," said
Porthos.
"On! on! forward! forward!" cried D'Artagnan, in his
stentorian voice; "we shall laugh over all this in five
minutes."
And they darted on anew. The horses, excited by pain and
emulation, raced over the dark road, in the midst of which
was now seen a moving mass, denser and more obscure than the
