Rapidly as the fancy flies forth with conceptions of the mind, so following the fancy's flight, O cough, flee rapidly away.

2 Rapidly as an arrow flies away with keenly-sharpened point, so swiftly flee away, O cough, over the region of the earth!

3 Rapidly as the beams of light, the rays of the sun, fly away, so, cough! fly rapidly away over the current of the sea!
