select the correct text in the passage
read the excerpts from john dryden's poem annus mirabilis. which set of lines refers to the great fire that swept through the city of london in
1666?
yet like an english general will i die,
and all the ocean make my spacious grave
women and cowards on the land may lie,
the sea's a tomb that's proper for the brave
restless he pass'd the remnant of the night,
till the fresh air proclaimed the morning nigh
and burning ships, the martyrs of the light,
with paler fires beheld the eastern sky
her flag aloft spread ruffling to the wind,
and sanguine streamers seem the flood to fire,
the weaver, charm'd with what his loom design'd,
goes on to sea, and knows not to retire
with roomy decks, her guns of mighty strength,
whose low-laid mouths each mounting billow laves,
deep in her draught, and warlike in her length,
she seems a sea wasp flying on the waves
