As when the potent rod

Of Amram's son, in Egypt's evil day,

Waved round the coast, up called a pitchy cloud

Of locusts, warping on the eastern wind,

That o'er the realm of impious Pharaoh hung
Like night, and darkened all the land of Nile:
So numberless were those bad angels seen
Hov'ring on wing under the cope of hell,
'Twixt upper, nether, and surrounding fires;

Till, at a signal given, the uplifted spear
Of their great Sultan waving to direct
Their course, in even balance down they light
On the firm brimstone, and fill all the plain.
