Epigraph: 'Celebrare domestica facta." - Horace
'But think not that I tell those vulgar sprites,/ Which frighted boys relate on winter nights,/ Night roaming ghosts, by saucer eye-balls known-/ The common spectres of each country town./ Hear, then, and let attested truth prevail :/ I am the witness of the dreadful tale." - Gay
