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?

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.

Annus Mirabilis is in Latin and it means 'Year of Miracles'. The title alludes to noble events, despite London had faced a Great Fire and the plague, and England has fought in two battles. John Dryden believes that these events were performed by God and they have saved England from destruction.

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
