Wrapt waues in waues, and hurl’d them on the shore.

Meane while night’s curtaines steept in Stygian blacke,

The crystall battlements of heau’n did hide;

Then Ioue did thunder, and the heau’ns did cracke,

Pale lightning leapt about on euery side,

The clouds inconstant flood-gates opened wide,

And nought, but mists, haile, raine, dark stormes and thunder,

Did fall from heau’n vpon the salt seas vnder.
