Now armies in the Air engage
To fright a superstitious age;
Now Comets thro' the Aether range
In Governments portending change;
Now Rivers to the Ocean fly,
So quick, they leave their channels dry;
Now monstrous Whales on LAMBETH shore,
Drink the THAMES dry, and thirst for more;
And ev'ry now and then appears
An IRISH Savage, numb'ring years
More than those happy Sages cou'd,
Who drew their breath before the flood.
Now, to the wonder of all people,
A  is left without a ;
A  now is left in lurch,
And mourns departure of the
Which borne on wings of mighty wind
Remov'd a furlong off we find.
Now, wrath on Cattle to discharge,
Hail stones as deadly fall and large
As those which were on EGYPT sent,
At once their crime and punishment,
Or those which, as the Prophet writes,
Fell on the necks of AMORITES,
When struck with wonder and amaze,
The  suspended stay'd to gaze,
And, from her duty longer kept,
In AJALON his  slept.
