JUDGMENT
When the fierce north wind, with his airy forces
Rears up the Baltic to a foaming fury,
And the Red Lightning, with a storm of hail
Comes rushing a main down

Rushing amain down;

While the hoarse thunder, like a bloody trumpet,
Roars a loud onset to the gaping waters
Quick to devour them.

(If things eternal may be like these earthly),
Such the dire terror when the great Archangel
Shakes the creation;
