An Epigram on a Mad-man.

A Friend desir'd me once, as I pass'd by
Bedlam (the Dippers University)
To walk in there with him, where when I came,
I did behold one as much out of frame
As was the Chaos in continual Night,
Before Jehovah said, Let there be Light;
Madness and Drunkenness conjoyn'd in one,
Would sure have made a less confusion
Then that within his Brayn: some people by
Observing so supreme an Extasie,
Ask'd if he were marryed that had this strange fit:
No (quoth the mad-man) I'm not so mad yet.
