Ay, for twenty miles around her:

For though to the ear 'twas nothing more

Than an infant's squall, it was really the roar

Of a Fifty-thousand Pounder!

It shook the next heir

In his library chair,

And made him cry, "Confound her!"

Of signs and omens there was no dearth,

Any more than at Owen Glendower's birth,
