Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!You cataracts, and hurricanoes, spoutTill you have drench'd our steeples, drown'd the cocks!You sulphurous and thought-executing fires,Vaunt couriers to oak-cleaving thunder-bolts,Singe my white head! And thou, all shaking thunder,Strike flat the thick rotundity o' the world!Crack nature's moulds, all germes spill at onceThat make ingrateful man!

Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!
You cataracts, and hurricanoes, spout
Till you have drench'd our steeples, drown'd the cocks!
You sulphurous and thought-executing fires,
Vaunt couriers to oak-cleaving thunder-bolts,
Singe my white head! And thou, all shaking thunder,
Strike flat the thick rotundity o' the world!
Crack nature's moulds, all germes spill at once
That make ingrateful man!
