Discord, Triumphant in the turbid Air
Gave a loud shriek, the Signal of the War.

Now Nothing's heard but Clank and Warlike Din;
All Mingling, Enter Biblio's Magazine:

Lays waste the Fields and makes the Orchards bare:
Throws down the blooming Honour of the Boughs,
The Promise of the teeming Year and Lab'ring Gardner's Vows.
