Argument, Plate 2

Rintrah roars and shakes his fires in the burden'd air
Hungry clouds swag on the deep, once meek, and in a perilous path

And drive the just man into barren climes
Now the sneaking serpent walks in mild humility
And the just man rages in the wilds where lions roam
Rintrah roars & shakes his fires in the burden'd air
Hungry clouds swag on the deep
