Can an infinitive verb be the predicate of a sentence?
It is certainly unusual for an infinitive verb to be used as the predicate of a sentence, but in English all sorts of improbable constructions do come up.

As a grammarian I might try to expand the sentence by putting in the parts that are only implied: I am going to sleep and perchance I am also going to dream. In the expanded version, the predicate is going, which is not an infinitive. Even so, as originally written the line consists pretty much only of infinitive verbs.
