IX. Pause we here ! Silence significant — a moment reigns. These mighty armies by grand thoughts are still'd, The monster moves, and in prophetic silence Writhes, nor aught dares utter, but he feels despair. His firey fangs fall off, his powers, reel, His battlements are shiver'd with the shock, His sceptre droops, and all within him fears ; The towering pride of Lucifer, comes down, The sword of Justice to the quick has reached, And to his ruin now he opens eyes and ears. Throughout the earth ...his rending roar is heard ; Ee raves, and to the ancient mountains calTsv " Come, cover me, and bide me from the wrath " To come-. My power is gone, earth even', seems- " To fly beneath my feet — all, all is gone. " The centre of in}' power is overthrown, 11 Its mighty fulcrum is for ever sunk, 41 My capital itself, dread Liberty " Has seen ; great Abraham himself has march'd " Her streets. Oh ! could I die — Can ye do nought " For me, ye hills? Can ye not fling o'er me " The soothing mantle of your earth ?
