• What various scenes, and O! what scenes of Woe,
  Are witness'd by that red and struggling beam!
  The fever'd patient, from his pallet low,
  Through crowded hospitals beholds it stream;
  The ruined maiden trembles at its gleam,
  The debtor wakes to thought of gyve and jail,
  The love-lorn wretch starts from tormenting dream;
  The wakeful mother, by the glimmering pale,
  Trims her sick infant's couch, and soothes his feeble wail.

• Kent. Where's the king? Gent. Contending with the fretful elements; Bids the wind blow the earth into the sea, Or swell the curled waters 'bove the main, That things might change or cease; tears his white hair, Which the impetuous blasts, with eyeless rage, Catch in their fury and make nothing of; Strives in his little world of man to outscorn The to-and-fro-conflicting wind and rain. This night, wherein the cub-drawn bear would couch, The lion and the belly-pinched wolf Keep their fur dry, unbonneted he runs, And bids what will take all.

• Say, ye oppress'd by some fantastic woes,
  Some jarring nerve that baffles your repose;
  Who press the downy couch, while slaves advance
  With timid eye, to read the distant glance;
  Who with sad prayers the weary doctor tease,
  To name the nameless ever-new disease;
  Who with mock patience dire complaints endure,
  Which real pain and that alone can cure;
  How would ye bear in real pain to lie,
  Despised, neglected, left alone to die?
  How would ye bear to draw your latest breath,
  Where all that's wretched paves the way for death?
