He ceased, and drew forth an MS.; and no
Persuasion on the part of Devils, Saints,
Or Angels, now could stop the torrent; so

But at the fourth, the whole spiritual show
Had vanished, with variety of scents,

Ambrosial and sulphureous, as they sprang,
Like lightning, off from his “melodious twang.”
