VIII.

Here Gloomy Light will shew

Reard like a Castle to the Skie,

A Horrid Cliffe there standing nigh

Shading a Creek below.

In which Recess there lies a Cave,

Dreadful as Hell, still as the Grave.

Sea-Monsters there abide,

The coming of the Tide,

No Noise is near,

To make them fear,

God-sleep might there reside.
