““At that tasted Fruit   The Sun, as from THYESTEAN Banquet, turn'd   His course intended; else how had the World   Inhabited, though sinless, more then now,   Avoided pinching cold and scorching heate?   These changes in the Heav'ns, though slow, produc'd   Like change on Sea and Land, sideral blast,   Vapour, and Mist, and Exhalation hot,   Corrupt and Pestilent: Now from the North   Of NORUMBEGA, and the SAMOED shoar   Bursting thir brazen Dungeon, armd with ice   And snow and haile and stormie gust and flaw,   BOREAS and CAECIAS and ARGESTES loud   And THRASCIAS rend the Woods and Seas upturn;””
