"His Country's Cares lay rowling in his Breast.  / As when by Light'nings <i>Jove </i>'s &AElig;therial Pow'r  / Foretells the ratling Hail, or weighty Show'r,  / Or sends soft Snows to whiten all the Shore,  / Or bids the brazen Throat of War to roar;  / By fits one Flash succeeds, as one expires, / And Heav'n flames thick with momentary Fires."
The Iliad of Homer, Translated by Mr. Pope
