To break my iron-fleep again;

Till Lok has burst his tenfold chain,

Never, till fubftantial Night

Has reaffum'd her ancient right;

Till wrap'd in flames, in ruin hurl'd,
Sinks the fabric of the world.

• Lok is the Evil Being who continues in chains till the Twilight of the Gods approaches, when he fhall break his confinement; the human race, the stars, and fun, fhall disappear; the earth sink in the feas, and fire confume the skies: even Odin himself and his kindred deities fhall perish. For a farther explanation of this mythology, fee Mallet in his curious introduction to the Hiftory of Denmark, 1755, Quarto..
