Who stretch’d her lawless hand to seize thine isle,

Enjoys not rest or glory; with her prey

Gorged but not satisfied, and craving still

Against th’ intent of Nature. See Her now

Upon the adverse shore, her Norman coast,

Plying[6] her monstrous labour unrestrained!

A rank of castles in the rough sea sunk,

With towery shape and height, and armed heads

Uprising o’er the surge; and these between,

Unmeasurable mass of ponderous rock
