Comus awakens into the modern day, and meets the prince who rules it, and is given a great commission. Woe to man.

Fatherhood having proven problematical to the son of the Wine-God, Comus is next engaged, first by one, then by the second, of the sons of the Dream-God Morpheus.

Wine-thirst of Comus is now posted. This is the first of four parts.
We begin with a short prologue, in which the poet fails to explain how he comes to see and hear of these hidden things beyond the veil, unattempted erenow in prose or rhyme, and coming of no known lore of old, nor of Homer, nor of Hesiod:
