To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— ay, an Almighty God, And vengeful as almighty ! Once his voice Was heard on earth : earth shudder'd at the sound ; The fiery-visaged firmament express'd Abhorrence, and the grave of nature yawn'd To swallow all the dauntless and the good That dared to hurl defiance at his throne, Girt as it was with power — the indictment does present a most extended 27 innuendo ; " Thereby meaning and referring to the Scripture history of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram ; and meaning that the said Korah, Dathan, a...nd Abiram, ivere dauntless and good, and were so dauntless and good for daring to hurl defiance at the throne of Almighty God'* This is, indeed, a flight of the poetry of pleading — a construction which you must find as the undoubted sense of the passage — be- fore you can sustain this part of the accusation. But again, I ask, is there any determinate meaning in these "wild and whirling words?" Are they more than atoms of chaotic thought not yet subsided into harmony, — over which the Spirit of Love has not yet brooded, so as to make them pregnant with life, and beauty, and joy ?
