Then tell me, Muse, and tell me true,
What Alterations shall ensue:
Predict at least, what weather shall
Our Dark Horizon then befal.
Tempests and Earth-quakes, I presage,
Shall at that Dreadful season rage.
A Cloud of dark desponding Fears,
A storm of Sigh's and flood of Teares;
And many a wretched Lovers heart
Be wreckt and torne, when they depart.
