Slow roll the years, avaunt the dreaded morn ! In darkness rest, nor, hated babe, be born ! See, Nature dreads her wonted wreaths to bring, Nor breathes her incense now the drooping Spring : See lofty Alp his angry head recoil, See shudd'ring forests sink into the soil : See noisome clouds from bleeding Jaffa rise, And Europe's blasted plains invoke the skies ! 192 APOLLYON. Hark ! a dread voice the deserts hear with fright ; " Avoid his way ! a demon blasts the light ! A demon comes !" the tre...mbling hills resound, Th' approaching curse the rocks proclaim around. Lo, earth receives him from wide-yawning hell ; Hills sink with fright, with rage the valleys swell ; Ye cedars droop, the sad event deplore ; Be rough ye rocks : ye rapid floods, loud roar ! Th' avenger comes ! by ancient bards foretold : Who hears, is deaf; he's blind who shall behold ! In thickest films he shall immerge the sight, And on the eye-ball pour eternal night : 'Tis he that shall obstruct the paths of sound, And with dire noise the deafen'd ear astound : The dumb shall yell, the lame his crutch forego, And fly in terrors like the stricken roe.
