9^}%^ XIPTXON oj a STORM ^ SEA.
[ '' & had deep silence reign'd in fuller
^h form,
.thoughtful calms prefac'd the broking
T storm:
ne blackening clouds mov'd on, in solemn
And nature feem'd just rip ning for a change.
At length arise some foftly-fighing gales,
Breach o'er the seas, and flutter in the fails ;
Now in loud biull'rings more impetuous crowd,
Try ev'ry mart, and catch up ev'ry ihroud.
All pale we fee, tumultuous from afar,
The boiling tempest, and the watry war:
Fearful to try the threatening sea behind,
We ply each fail, and flee before the wind. +
In vain, alas! The treach'rous gloom of night,
And wrathful Jove,' anticipate our flight.
Then fil'd we hear the howling tempest roar,
And peals of thunder roll from Ihore to ffiore;
Not more tremendous howl the spell-bound
ghosts,
That nightly haunt the fam'd Circxan coasts:
Not with more noise the * lifter mongers yell,
Foam out their rage, and bellow from their cell.
From pole to pole the giddy^ tumults grow,
Clouds war above, and leas contend below.
Born® by imperious winds the- vessel rides,
And follows, where the mad'ning ocean guides:
Now rais'd aloft die mounts the liquid deep,
Now headlong foots into the raging deep:
Oft on her prow recoiling billows turn,
Oft Aim the deck, or lash the founding stern.
Fix'd at the helm the frantic pilot stands,
And this in vain forbids, or that commands ;
His clam'rous threats in louder Teas are loft,
Wrapt in the thunder, or in whirlwinds toft.
Lol dreadful new the forty lightning flies,
Vaults o'er the waves, or darts along the Ikies;
Thro heav'n's expanse infuffcrable glows,„
And all the melancholy profped thews,
Here with wild fury claiming billows jar,
Winds combat winds, and mix tempestuous war;
There hoarier ftornis of thunder rend the air,
Root up the sea, a^d all its bosom tear.
Thus Briareus, beneath proud Etna's height,
Stretch'd in the prison of eternal night,
Sometimes, indignant, calls forth all his strength,
Heaves with his breast, and fliakes his dreadful
length ;
Sicilian peasants feel the angrv god,
Tall mountains tremble, and whole forefts nod.
Jove, to encreafe the horrors of the main, #
From pitchy clouds compreft a teeming rain ^
Bade, from their springs, the heav'nly fountains
rife,
And open'd ail the flood-gates of the Ikies:
Quick, at his jvord, tlie lab'ring torrents pour,
And seas and winds amidst the deluge roar.
* Scylla and Charybdis.
