Nor had this sublunary scene alone,

Witness'd his trial. Doubt ye not that forms

To earth invisible were hovering near

With the sublime solicitude of Heaven.

For he, the bold, bad Spirit, in his vaunting pride

Of impious revolt, had dared to say

Unto the King of Kings,

"Stretch forth thy hand

And take away all that he hath, and Job

Will curse Thee to Thy face."
