Sivu 206 - ... a shout, that tore hell's concave, and beyond frighted the reign of Chaos and old Night.
Sivu 205 - Before their eyes in sudden view appear The secrets of the hoary deep; a dark Illimitable ocean, without bound, Without dimension, where length, breadth, and height, And time, and place, are lost; where eldest Night And Chaos, ancestors of Nature, hold Eternal anarchy, amidst the noise Of endless wars, and by confusion stand.

Sivu 73 - There is a time when forty days they lie, And forty nights, conceal'd from human eye : But in the course of the revolving year, When the swain sharps the scythe, again appear.
