ever known here in the memory of man,. . . [13 lines] The
loud roaring of the sea, the frequent flashes of lightning
and balls of fire play'd from the artilery of the sky, and
the dreadful whistling of the wind might give a man some
idea of the day of judgment, when the last loud trumpet's
wonderous sound shall wake the nations under ground: . . .
