Fragment: Pater Omnipotens.

By Percy Bysshe Shelley

Serene in his unconquerable might Endued[,] the Almighty King, his steadfast throne Encompassed unapproachably with power And darkness and deep solitude an awe Stood like a black cloud on some aery cliff Embosoming its lightning - in his sight Unnumbered glorious spirits trembling stood Like slaves before their Lord - prostrate around Heaven's multitudes hymned everlasting praise.
