And now, navigating the circumambient air in an electric ship, I'll sail away to the "Island of Immortality," and dream a season from my multifarious labors.
_I'll go swinging round the circle Through six hundred future years, With the roses and the myrtle Growing in celestial spheres; And sweet Freedom, heaven slated Round my footsteps, night and day, When I am incarnated-- Shall still hold its deathless sway! And great Shakspere then shall meet me To renew our former youth, And exclaim with honest fervor-- "Jack, you always told the truth!"_
