——Immediately a place
Before his eyes appear'd, sad, noisome, dark,
A lazar-house it seem'd, wherein were laid
Numbers of all diseas'd, all maladies.
Demoniac phrenzy, moping melancholy,
And moon-struck madness, pining atrophy.
Marasmus——
Dire was the tossing, deep the groans;
And over them triumphant Death his dart
Shook, but delay'd to strike, though oft invok'd.

Picture XXV.
The Vision of the Deluge.
——the thicken'd sky
Like a dark ceiling stood; down rush'd the rain
Impetuous——
——Sea cover'd sea,
Sea without shore——
How didst thou grieve then, Adam, to behold
The end of all thy offspring——
Depopulation! Book XI. v. 742, 754.
In the possession of John Angerstein, Esq.
Picture XXVI.
The Vision of Noah.
——from his ark
The ancient sire descends with all his train;
Then with uplifted hands, and eyes devout,
Grateful to Heav'n, over his head beholds
A dewy cloud, and in the cloud a bow.
Book XI. v. 861.
