Dedham, Spet. 15, 1758. N. Ames.

The following Lines are a Description, not a Prediction of an Earthquake

IN deepest Caves are Beds of Sulphre made,
And in a secret fearful Ambush laid;
When God's avenging Hand shall touch the Train,
Some warn'd devoted City quick is slain.
The Earth convuls'd, her Jaws are open'd wide
Churches and all their lofty Spires subside,
To Nature's Womb they sink with dreadful Throws,
And on poor screamiong Souls the Chasms close.

By NATHANIEL AMES.

HOW wond'rous, Lord, they mighty Works appear
Thro' all the Seasons of the rolling Year!
Thy glorious Name is equally exprest,
In the fair Spring, with gay Confusion dreft;
And the warm Summer, when the flashing Cloud
And breaking Thunders speak the GOD aloud:
Autumn's ripe Fruits, the lab'ring Swain's Delight,
Paint out thy Goodness to the ravish'd Sight;
What daring Mortal can His Cold withstand,
Or guide His Tempests with a steady Hand?
When o'er the Earth the fleecy Sno He sends
The fleecy Snow His sov'reign Voice attends:
Thus thro' the World, they mighty Pow'r is known,
And Savage Nations a CREATOR own.
