And Rain and Floods and Winds, in course,
Did beat upon that House with force,
And it fell not for all the shock,
For it was founded on a Rock.
But he that hears without regard,
of doing that which I command:
To a foolish man shall be compar'd
that built his House upon the Sand:
Then Flouds of Rain and Tempests great
Upon that House did fiercely beat;
And down it fell unto the ground,
And great the fall thereof was found.
