See how the Melting Orbs of Heaven sweat,
Like Parchment Parched, and shrivelled up with heat,
Like Parchment Parcht, and shrivel'd up with heat,
Loud Thunder-Cracks through the Enraged Air,
With frightful Aspects Meteors do appear,
To usher in the Day of Heaven's dread Ire
To usher in the Day of Heav'ns dread Ire
