Hath scathd the Forrest Oaks, or Mountain Pines,

In shape and gesture proudly eminent [ 590 ]

Thir dread commander: he above the rest

On half the Nations, and with fear of change

Perplexes Monarchs. Darknd so, yet shon

All her Original brightness, nor appeard

To speak九九藏书; whereat thir doubld Ranks they bend

Millions of Spirits for his fault amerct

Or whom Biserta sent from Afric shore [ 585 ]

From wing to wing, and half enclose him round

With singed top thir stately growth though bare

Damasco, or Marocco, or Trebisond,

Looks ９9ｌｉｂ•nｅｔthrough the Horizontal misty Air [ 595 ]

Shorn of his Beams, or from behind the Moon

Of Glory obscurd: As when the Sun new risn

In dim Eclips disastrous twilight sheds

For his revolt, yet faithfull how they stood,

Of dauntless courage, and considerate Pride

Of Heavn, and from Eternal Splendors flung [ 610 ]

Stands on the blasted Heath. He9９lｉb•ｎeｔ now prepard [ 615 ]

The fellows of his crime, the followers rather

Deep scars of Thunder had intrencht, and care

When Charlemain with all his Peerage fell

Signs of remorse and passion to behold [ 605 ]

For ever now to have thir lot in pain,

Thir Glory witherd. As when Heavens Fire
