Doth like a city in an earthquake rock,

As at my feet the abyss is cloven then,

With deeper menace than for other men,

Of my potential cousinship with mire;

That all my conquered skies do grow a hollow mock,

My fearful powers retire,

No longer strong,

Reversing the shook banners of their song.

Ah, for a heart less native to high Heaven,

A hooded eye, for jesses and restraint,
