Fear, the wild-visaged, pale, eye-starting wretch,

Sure-refuged, hears his hot-pursuing fiends

Yell at vain distance. Soon refreshed from Heaven,

He calms the throb and tempest of his heart,

His countenance settles; a soft solemn bliss

Swims in his eye—his swimming eye upraised:

And faith’s whole armour glitters on his limbs!

And thus transfigured with a dreadless awe,

A solemn hush of soul, meek he beholds

All things of terrible seeming.
