Not illustrated. 1794* Excerpt: ...the waves run high, And tempest Nature's universal sphere 1065 Such opposites eternal, stedfast, stern, Such foes implacable, are good, and ill; Yet Man, vain Man, would mediate peace between them. Think not this fiction. "There was war in heav'n." From heav'n's high crystal mountain, where it hung, Th' Almighty's out-stretcht arm took down his bow, And shot his indignation at the deep: 1072 Re-thunder'd Hell, and darted all her fires.
