Excerpt from Descensus Averno and Other Poems
N ow rising high, revealing by their glare The dreary realms of sorrow and despair; Now falling low, and darkening, as they fall Hell's gloomy plains and loathsome caverns all Expectant, mute and motionless, alone In solemn state upon his ebon throne Beelzebub, the Prince of Hell, awaits With anxious gaze toward the frowning gates, The coming, long delayed, of Satan; him Whose lordly presence in these regions dim Serves every fear among his hosts to quell; Whose lengthened absence makes a void in hell.
