With sudden burst, A rushing noise, through all the sacred band Silence profound, and fixed attention claimed. A chilling terror crept through every heart, Mute was each tongue, and pale was every face. The rough roar ceased; when, borne on fiery wings, The dazzling emanation from above In brightest vision round each sacred head Diffused its vivid beams: mysterious light! That rushed impetuous through th’ awaking mind, Whilst new ideas filled th’ impassive soul, Fast crowding in, with sweetest violence. ’Twas then amazed, they caught the glorious flame; Spontaneous flowed their all-persuasive words, Warm from the heart, and to the heart addressed.
