But to tear out the journal of that day.
Or, if the order of the world below
Will not the gap of one whole day allow,
Give me that minute when she made her vow.

SCENE VII.--GLUMDALCA, TOM THUMB, HUNCAMUNCA


_Glum_. [1]I need not ask if you are Huncamunca.
Your brandy-nose proclaims----

[Footnote 1: I know some of the commentators have imagined that Mr
Dryden, in the altercative scene between Cleopatra and Octavia, a
scene which Mr Addison inveighs against with great bitterness, is
much beholden to our author. How just this their observation is I will
not presume to determine.]

_Hunc_. I am a princess;
Nor need I ask who you are.

_Glum_. A giantess;
The queen of those who made and unmade queens.

_Hunc_. The man whose chief ambition is to be
My sweetheart hath destroy'd these mighty giants.
