Thus while my joyleſs Hours I lingring spend,

With Looks demure, and ſilent pace a Dunn,

Horrible Monſter! hated by Gods and Men,

To my aerial Citadel ascends;

With Vocal Heel thrice Thund’ring at my Gates,

With hideous Accent thrice he calls; I know

The Voice ill boding, and the solemn Sound;

What should I do, or whither turn? amaz’d

Confounded, to the dark recess I fly

Of Woodhole; ſtreight my briſtling Hairs erect
