| 520 | _a"The Sleeping Bard; Or, Visions of the World, Death, and Hell" by Ellis Wynne is a visionary allegorical poem written in the early 18th century, originally in Welsh and later translated into English. The text explores profound themes such as morality, human folly, and the afterlife, featuring vivid imagery and characterizations that depict the vices of society and the eternal struggle between good and evil. The primary narrative unfolds through the experiences of the Bard who encounters various allegorical figures and realms, offering a societal critique wrapped in a richly imaginative framework. At the start of the work, the narrator ascends a mountain in Wales, reflects on the beauty of the world, and subsequently falls into a dreamlike state. In this dream, he is whisked away by fairies and angelic beings to witness the "City of Perdition," where he encounters different streets governed by vices such as Pride, Pleasure, and Lucre. These streets are populated by characters embodying human failings, illustrating the folly, temptations, and moral decay prevalent in society. Through his journey, the Bard gains insights into the dangers of such vices and the fundamental truths about life, death, and the quest for redemption.
