He ceas'd: when, lo! again th' Almighty spoke;

The same dread voice from the black whirlwind broke.

Can that arm measure with an arm divine?

And canst thou thunder with a voice like mine?

Or in the hollow of thy hand contain

The bulk of waters, the wide-spreading main,

When, mad with tempests, all the billows rise

In all their rage, and dash the distant skies?

Come forth, in beauty's excellence array'd;

And be the grandeur of thy power display'd;
