Has heard it bunt the lurid eastern sky, 17Q: As when the tempest whieh th* horizon shrouds Rolls in the centre of his gather*d clouds^ And up the concave from the south afar The distant Thunder drives his rapid car ; And as his fiery steeds impetuous come. And ^ance with ruddy track across the gloom. 46 BOADICEA. So, red with Uood and Dasolatkm'f ttaiiis The path of Ruin sweeps across thy plains. Haste^ Roman, haste ! lo, bending to its fall Destruction trembles o*er Aagosta's wall, 180 Thy ri...sing cities wildly shriek dismayed And ask thy guardian hand, thy parent aid ^ Go— bid the surge of insurrection bide In midway course, and backwards roll its tide; No-^id thy angiy Adria*s waves obey Thy chiding voice, and call their storms Miwaf | Push backwards up thy red Vesuvius* steep The lava torrent pouring to the deep ; Alike thy might is vain ; 'tis thine to £ear Imperious despot ! thine to tremble here. 190 BOADICEA. 47 Woe to Ibj towM ! amid tiidr shrieking wills Ouick in the ifork of death the fiddiion Mli ; BxBlting there Destroetion's DeoMUis rise> And on the steamhig carnage mount the skies; And nodding rains in a lake of blood Xaik the sad plape where peopled cities stood.
