____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Borne to the rocky bed's exteemed brow, The flood leaps headlong, nor a moment waits; To join the whirlpool deep and vast below, The settlers ocean hurries through the straits House roars the broken wave; and upward driven, Dishes in air _ dissolving vapours press'd, Confound the troubled elements with heaven: Earth quakes beneath heart trembles in the breast With steps uncertain to jutting rock, To gaze upon the immense abyss, I lie, And all my senses feel a horrid shock, As down the steep I turn my dizzy eye On cloudy steams I take a flight sublime, Leaving the world and nature's works behind; And as the pure, empyreal height I climb Reflect with rapture on the I M MORT AC MISD
