On the late Earthquakes in ENGLAND and IRELAND.
Britons, attend! Ierne, mind the callOf voice divine, proclaim'd aloud to all.
Once had Juverna felt convulsive shocks,
Which swell'd her seas, and rent her solid rocks,
And twice hath Albion totter'd like a wall,
Portending cumb'rous ruin by its fall.
Lethargic natives of this northern clime,
Awake! awake! reform, repent in time;
With inmost dread observe the last alarm,
Wrath is gone out, th' Almighty lifts his arm.
