Those laws which from Mount Sinai Jehovah, clothed with terrors, while thick clouds And darkness wrapt him round, pronounced, in sounds Which chilled the hearts of those who heard, and froze Their very blood. Beneath His awful feet Earth trembled, and the lofty mountain shook; Hoarse thunder growled, and livid lightnings flashed, While sounds of horror and distress amid The howling wilderness were heard.
