Draw the circumference of the public wall;
The crossest spirits here do take their part,
Fastening the contignation which they thwart;

But the most equal still sustain the height,
And they as pillars keep the work upright,

The fabric (as with arches) stronger binds,
Which on the basis of a senate free,

The whirling Tempest raves along the Plain;
And, on the Cottage thacht, or lordly Dome,
Keen-fastening, shakes 'em to the solid Base.
Sleep, frighted, flies; the hollow Chimney howls,
The Windows rattle, and the Hinges creak.
THEN, too, they say, thro' all the burthen'd Air,
