[Kept off by Lot, the fiery rain]

I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. —xix. 22.

Kept off by Lot, the fiery rain
On Sodom cannot yet descend,
The presence of one righteous man
Doth God's impending plagues suspend:
But woe to that devoted race,
Whom their despised protectors leave!
The wrath shall all on them take place,
The yawning gulf its prey receive.
