His Legions, Angel Forms, who lay intranst

Your wearied vertue, for the ease you find [ 320 ]

Hewn on Norwegian hills, to be the Mast

Afloat, when with fierce Winds Orion armd [ 305 ]

Behind him cast; the broad circumference

Was moving toward the shoar; his ponderous shield

In Vallombrosa, where t99liｂ.nｅｔh Etrurian shades

Nathless he so endurd, till on the Beach

Of Hell resounded. Princes, Potentates, [ 315 ]

Of some great Ammiral, were but a wand,

If such astonishment as this can sieze

Rivers or Mountains in her spotty Globe.

Abject and lost lay these, covering the Flood,

And broken C九九藏书网hariot Wheels, so thick bestrown

Hung on his shoulders like the Moon, whose Orb

His Spear, to equal which the tallest Pine

He walkt with to support uneasie steps [ 295 ]

While with perfidious hatred they pursud

At Evning from the top of Fesole,

He calld so loud, that all the hollow Deep

On Heavens Azure, and the torrid Clime

From the safe shore thir floating Carkases [ 310 ]

Eternal spirits; or have ye chosn this place

Thick as Autumnal Leaves that strow the Brooks

The Sojourners of Goshen, who beheld

Through Optic Glass the Tuscan Artist views

Hath vext the Red-Sea Coast, whose waves orethrew

High overarcht imbowr; or scatterd sedge

He scarce had ceast when the superiour Fiend

Or in Valdarno, to descry new Lands, [ 290 ]

Under amazement of thir hideous change.

Busiris and his Memphian Chivalry,

As we erewhile, astounded and amazd,
