THE

CLOSING SCENE:

A VISION.

In Twelve Books.

BY JAMES WOODMANSEE.

Like the baseless fabric of a Vision,-
The cloud-capp'd Towers, the gorgeous Palaces,
The solemn Temples, the great Globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit shall dissolve,
And like this insubstantial pageant faded-
Leave not a rack behind!-SHAKSPEARE.
