| Tell me where is fancy bred, |
1 |
| Or in the heart or in the head? |
|
| How begot, how nourished? |

| Reply, reply. |
|
| It is engendered in the eyes, |
5 |
| With gazing fed; and fancy dies |
|
| In the cradle where it lies. |
|
| Let us all ring fancy's knell: |
|
| I'll begin it,--Ding, dong, bell. |
|
| Ding, dong, bell. |

and fancy dies ... where it lies |
