The rolling billows beat the rugged shore, as they the Earth would shoulder from her seat

The line "The rolling billows beat the rugged shore, as they the Earth would shoulder from her seat" evokes a powerful image of the relentless force of the ocean crashing against the unyielding shore. This imagery is reminiscent of the work of Edmund Spenser, a renowned English poet of the Renaissance period known for his epic poem "The Faerie Queene."
