I	A
Peace heaven descended maid whose powerful voice	B
From ancient darkness call'd the morn	C
And hush'd of jarring elements the noise	D
When Chaos from his old dominion torn	C
With all his bellowing throng	E
Far far was hurl'd the void abyss along	E
And all the bright angelic choir	F
Striking through all their ranks the eternal lyre	G
Pour'd in loud symphony the impetuous strain	H
And every fiery orb and planet sung	I
And wide through Night's dark solitary reign	H
Rebounding long and deep the lays triumphant rung	I
	-
I	A
Oh whither art thou fled Saturnian Age	J
Roll round again majestic years	K
To break the sceptre of tyrannic rage	J
From Woe's wan cheek to wipe the bitter tears	L
Ye years again roll round	M
Hark from afar what desolating sound	M
While echoes load the sighing gales	N
With dire presage the throbbing heart assails	N
Murder deep roused with all the whirl wind's haste	O
And roar of tempest from her cavern springs	P
Her tangled serpents girds around her waist	O
Smiles ghastly fierce and shakes her gore distilling wings	P
	-
I	A
The shouts redoubling rise	Q
In thunder to the skies	Q
The nymphs disordered dart along	E
Sweet powers of solitude and song	E
Stunn'd with the horros of discordant sound	M
And all is listening trembling round	M
Torrents far heard amid the waste of night	R
That oft have led the wanderer right	R
Are silent at the noise	D
The mighty Ocean's more majestic voice	B
Drown'd in superior din is heard no more	S
The surge in silence seems to sweep the foamy shore	S
	-
II	A
The bloody banner streaming in the air	T
Seen on yon sky mix'd mountain's brow	U
The mingling multitudes the madding car	V
Driven in confusion to the plain below	W
War's dreadful Lord proclaim	X
Bursts out by frequent fits the expansive flame	X
Snatch'd in tempestuous eddies flies	Q
The surging smoke o'er all the darken'd skies	Q
The cheerful face of heaven no more is seen	Y
The bloom of morning of morning fades to deadly pale	Z
The bat flies transient o'er the dusky green	Y
And Night's foul birds along the sullen twilight sail	Z
	-
II	A
Involved in fire streak'd gloom the car comes on	A2
The rushing steeds grim Terror guides	B2
His forehead writhed to a relentless frown	C2
Aloft the angry Power of Battles rides	B2
Grasped in his mighty hand	D2
A mace tremendous desolates the land	D2
The tower rolls headlong down the steep	E2
The mountain shrinks before its wasteful sweep	E2
Chill horror the dissolving limbs invades	F2
Smit by the blasting lightning of his eyes	Q
A deeper gloom invests the howling shades	F2
Stripp'd is the shatter'd grove and every verdure dies	Q
	-
II	A
How startled Phrenzy stares	L
Bristling her ragged hairs	L
Revenge the gory fragment gnaws	G2
See with her griping vulture claws	G2
Imprinted deep she rends the mangled wound	M
Hate whirls her torch sulphureous round	M
The shrieks of agony and clang of arms	H2
Re echo to the hoarse alarms	H2
Her trump terrific blows	I2
Disparting from behind the clouds disclose	I2
Of kingly gesture a gigantic form	J2
That with his scourge sublime rules the careering storm	J2
	-
III	A
Ambition outside fair within as foul	K2
As fiends of fiercest heart below	W
Who rides the hurricanes of fire that roll	L2
Their thundering vortex o'er the realms of wo	W
Yon naked waste survey	M2
Where late was heard the flute's mellifluous lay	M2
Where late the rosy bosom'd hours	N2
In loose array danced lightly o'er the flowers	N2
Where late the shepherd told his tender tale	Z
And waken'd by the murmuring breeze of morn	C
The voice of cheerful Labour fill'd the dale	Z
And dove eyed Plenty smiled and waved her liberal horn	C
	-
III	A
Yon ruins sable from the wasting flame	X
But mark the once resplendent dome	O2
The frequent corse obstructs the sullen stream	P2
And ghosts glare horrid from the sylvan gloom	Q2
How sadly silent all	R2
Save where outstretch'd beneath yon hanging wall	R2
Pale Famine moans with feeble breath	S2
And Anguish yells and grinds his bloody teeth	T2
Though vain the muse and every melting lay	M2
To touch thy heart unconscious of remorse	U2
Know monster know thy hour is on the way	M2
I see I see the years begin their mighty course	U2
	-
III	A
What scenes of glory rise	Q
Before my dazzled eyes	Q
Young zephyrs wave their wanton wings	P
And melody celestial rings	P
All blooming on the lawn the nymphs advance	V2
And touch the lute and range the dance	V2
And the blithe shepherds on the mountain's side	W2
Array'd in all their rural pride	W2
Exalt the festive note	X2
Inviting Echo from her inmost grot	X2
But ah the landscape glows with fainter light	X2
It darkens swims and flies for ever from my sight	X2
	-
IV	M2
Illusions vain Can sacred	X2
Peace	Y2
reside	X2
Where sordid gold the breast alarms	H2
Where Cruelty inflames the eye of Pride	X2
And Grandeur wantons in soft Pleasure's arms	H2
Ambition these are thine	Z2
These from the soul erase the form divine	Z2
And quench the animating fire	F
That warms the bosom with sublime desire	F
Thence the relentless heart forgets to feel	A3
And Hatred triumphs on the o'erwhelming brow	U
And midnight Rancour grasps the cruel steel	A3
Blaze the blue flames of death and sound the shrieks of wo	W
	-
IV	M2
From Albion fled thy once beloved retreat	X2
What regions brighten in thy smile	B3
Creative	M2
Peace	Y2
and underneath thy feet	X2
See sudden flowers adorn the rugged soil	C3
In bleak Siberia blows	I2
Waked by the genial breath the balmy rose	I2
Waved over by the magic wand	X2
Does life inform fell Lybia's burning sand	X2
O does some isle thy parting flight detain	H
Where roves the Indian through primaeval shades	F2
Haunts the pure pleasures of the sylvan reign	H
And led by Reason's light the path of Nature treads	D3
	-
IV	M2
On Cuba's utmost steep	E2
Far leaning o'er the deep	E2
The Goddess' pensive form was seen	Y
Her robe of Nature's varied green	Y
Waved on the gale grief dimm'd her radiant eyes	Q
Her bosom heaved with boding sighs	Q
She eyed the main where gaining on the view	M2
Emerging from the ethereal blue	M2
'Midst the dread of pomp of war	S
Blazed the Iberian streamer from afar	V
She saw and on refulgent pinions borne	C
Slow wing'd her way sublime and mingled with the morn	C
