[Where, where are now the great Reports]

Where, where are now the great Reports
Of those huge haughty Earth-born Giants?
Where are the lofty Towrs and Forts
Of those proud Kings bade Heav'n Defiance?
When Them I to my Minde revoke,
Mee thinks I see a mighty Smoke
Trick-mounting from quick-burning Matter.
Which in an instant VVindes doo scatter.
