Pages

winds v. Aeolus.
Gusts, blasts, puffes, Aeolian scouts, Aeolian slaves. Heaven-fanning exhalation. Heavens fanne. The whisking brooms of air. The thundring Skies with their incounters rock, Which with their dusky mantle sweep the air. And earth and seas, The brushing beesomes of the air, Which loose submit to no command, Perplex the clouds, with stern encounters roar, And strike forth lames, That whirl about in their uncertain sphear, And ride their unknown circuit every where. The Astraean sons in swift incursions joyn, Tossing the troubled air and Neptunes brine, That rake the breaking clouds. The hollow flood of air, in Zephyrs cheeks, The tatling bellows. Tatling gossips of the air. Loud noises that torment the air. Chill breaths Fly from their rockie den and blow, As if they meant to crack their swelling cheeks.
