    Like one, that on a lonesome road
    Doth walk in fear and dread,
    And having once turned round, walks on,
    And turns no more his head;
    Because he knows a frightful fiend
    Doth close behind him tread.

The clouds dispell'd, the sky resum'd her light,
And Nature stood recover'd of her fright.

And horrow heavy sat on every mind.
