Of Boreas, that congeals the Cronian Waves,

Tumultuous enter with dire chilling Blaſts,

Portending Agues. Thus a well-fraught Ship

On Scylla or Charibdis dangerous Rocks

She ſtrikes rebounding, whence the ſhatter’d Oak,

So fierce a Shock unable to withſtand,

Admits the Sea, in at the gaping Side,
