Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Alexander Pope, Vol. 2: To Which Is Prefixed, a Life of the Author
Tie up the hooker, say I'n sick, I'n dead.' The dog-star rages nay, 'tis past a doubt. All Bedlam, or Parnassus, is let out: Fire in each eye, and papers in each hand, They rave, recite, and madden round the land.
