Hand has peopled Babel & Nineveh: Hyle. Ashur & Aram;
Cobans son is Nimrod: his son Cush is adjoind to Aram.
By the Daughter of Babel, in a woven mantle of pestilence & war,
They put forth their spectrous cloudy sails; which drive their immense
Constellations over the deadly deeps of indefinite Udan-Adan...
- William Blake, Jerusalem, plate 7
