1 As when a windy tempest blows high, 2 That nothing may withstand its stormy stour,
That > [So that] stour > tumult
3 The clouds, as things afraid, before it fly;
fly > flee, fly
4 But all so soon as its outrageous power
outrageous > violent
5 Is laid, they fiercely then begin to shower,
laid > caused to subside; calmed
6 And as in scorn of its spent stormy spite, 7 Now all at once their malice forth do pour;
malice > harmfulness
