The Caverns of the Grave I've seen
The Caverns of the Grave I've seen, And these I show'd to England's Queen. But now the Caves of Hell
I view, Who shall I dare to show them to? What mighty soul in Beauty's form Shall dauntless view the
infernal storm? Egremont's Countess can control The flames of Hell that round me roll; If she refuse, I still
go on Till the Heavens and Earth are gone, Still admir'd by noble minds, Follow'd by Envy on the winds, Re-
engrav'd time after time, Ever in their youthful prime, My designs unchang'd remain. Time may rage, but
rage in vain. For above Time's troubled fountains, On the great Atlantic Mountains, In my Golden House
on high, There they shine eternally.
