Or shak’st the rigid pinions of the north,

Diffusest life and vigour thro’ the tracts

Of air, thro’ earth, and ocean’s deep domain. 10

When thro’ the blue serenity of heav’n

Thy power approaches, all the wasteful host

Of pain and sickness, squallid and deform’d,

Confounded sink into the loathsom gloom,

Where in deep Erebus involv’d the fiends 15

Grow more profane. Whatever shapes of death,

Shook from the hideous chambers of the globe,
