Beneath his feet shot thro' him as he stood in the Human Brain
And all its golden porches grew pale with his

No more Exulting for he saw Eternal Death beneath
Pale he beheld futurity; pale he beheld the Abyss
Where Enion blind & age bent wept in direful hunger craving
All rav'ning like the hungry worm, & like the silent grave

Terrific Urizen strode above, in fear & pale dismay

Stern Urizen beheld
In woe his brethren & his Sons in
darkning
woe lamenting
Upon the winds in clouds involvd Uttering his voice in thunders

Roar the bright masses, thund'ring beat the hammers, many a Globe pyramid {Lowercase "globe" mended to "Globe," then struck.
