And sound which struck the palpitating sense,

The issue of strong impulse, hurried through

The riv'n rapt brain: as when in some large lake

From pressure of descendant crags, which lapse

Disjointed, crumbling from their parent slope

At slender interval, the level calm

Is ridg'd with restless and increasing spheres

Which break upon each other, each th' effect

Of separate impulse, but more fleet and strong

Than its precursor, till the eyes in vain
