Asphaltic

asphaltic concrete; asphaltic sediment

Hears the hoarse bittern, where Gomorrah stood;

The aggregated Soyle Death with his Mace petrific, cold and dry, As with a Trident smote, and fix’t as firm As Delos floating once; the rest his look Bound with Gorgonian rigor not to move, And with Asphaltic slime,

[…] the congealed frost lay ten inches thick in a hard, asphaltic pavement,

As Sodomes Apples, neere th’Asphalticke lake, Of specious shew, yet touch’t, to ashes turning, So are sinnes poysons sweete, yet bane to take;

[…] who gather from the fragrant shrub The aromatic balsam, and extract Its milky juice along the lovely side Of winding Jordan, till immers’d it sleep Beneath the pitchy surface, which obscures Th’ Asphaltic lake.
