- (continued from previous page)"Go now" he says. "renew the flames"
And put the damned in motion
And without pity hear their screams
Give every man his portion"Then clouds of pestilential smoke
And rumbling noise like thunder
From every cave and cavern broke
Which filled my breast with wonder.Such dismal shrieks and piercing cries
I never heard before man
And how the flames would fall and rise
And then with fury roar man.No tongue can tell the great distress
