Yea, all was dark. Earth, Air, and Ocean, now
Were void. Not so in the dread realms below:—
Where there were spirits—tens of thousands, fiends,
Whose shrieks were borne upon the various winds
Of hell; and who with awful vengeance swore
That such should be for ever, evermore!
Where mountains labour in the trough of woe,
And topple over on the host below:
Where valleys lift themselves, and roll in waves:
Where grim idolaters rise from their graves
