Or Love in a golden bowl?

SECOND PRIEST.

13 lines
Oliver Goldsmith·1728–1774
ierce is the whirlwind howling 15O’er Afric’s sandy plain,And fierce the tempest rollingAlong the furrow’d main:But storms that fly,To rend the sky, 20Every ill presaging,Less dreadful showTo worlds belowThan angry monarch’s raging. [Illustration: ]GOLDSMITH’S AUTOGRAPH (Stanzas from ‘The Captivity’)
