"Bid the face, red'ning, warm'd idea take, / Strait, the soul's wildfires all obstruction break: / Stung, by inflicted thought's imagin'd pain, / Hard heave the muscles, rolling eye-balls strain: / 'Twixt the clos'd teeth, indignantly, supprest, / Or, storm-like, loud, out pours th' unguarded breast: / Slack'ning, exclaiming, swift, slow, restless change, / Wings the voic'd tempest, in its whirlwind range; / Quick turns, and startings, face, and air, deform; / And thick, short breathings paint the infelt storm."
