Richard Glover


Crashing … like thunder nigh, whose burst of ruin strikes the shatter’d ear with horror.	1
Dark as Pluto’s palace.	2
Sullen, fix’d like some old oak’s deep-rooted, knotted trunk, which hath endur’d the tempest-breathing months of thrice a hundred winters, yet remains unshaken.	3
Fresh as the May-blown rose.	4
Like Diana pure.	5
Sweet as the vernal flow’r in early prime.	6
Unshaken like a Thracian hill.	7
