On hosier's poles depending stockings ty'd,

Flag with the slacken'd gale from side to side;

Church-monuments foretell the changing air,

Then Niobe dissolves into a tear,

And sweats with sacred grief; you'll hear the sounds

Of whistling winds, ere kennels break their bounds;

Ungrateful odours common-shores diffuse,

And dropping vaults distil unwholesome dews,

Ere the tiles rattle with the smoking shower,

And spouts on heedless men their torrents pour.
