His pow'r to hollow caverns is confin'd, There let him reign, the jailor of the wind: With hoarse commands his breathing subjects call, And boast and bluster in his empty hall.
92 ページ - Appear'd around, and groves of living green ; Poplars and alders ever quivering play'd, And nodding cypress form'da fragrant shade ; On whose high branches, waving with the storm, The birds of broadest wing their...
