Percy Bysshe Shelley - Fragment: Pater Omnipotens lyrics

[Edited from man*script Shelley E 4 in the Bodleian Library, and published by Mr. C.D. Loco*k, "Examination" etc., Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1903. Here placed conjecturally amongst the compositions of 1820, but of uncertain date, and belonging possibly to 1819 or a still earlier year.] Serene in his unconquerable might Endued[,] the Almighty King, his steadfast throne Encompa**ed 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. ***
