The Dies Iræ.
V.EARL ROSCOMMON.
1.
THE day of wrath, that dreadful day,
Shall the whole world in aſhes lay,
As David and the Sibyls ſay.
2.
What horror will invade the mind
When the ſtrict Judge, who would be kind,
Shall have few venial faults to find.
3.
The laſt loud trumpet's wondrous ſound
Shall through the rending tombs rebound,
And wake the nations under ground.
