Etymology: thunder and clap.

One day did scorn the simple scarabee,
Proud of his highest service, and good hap,
That made all other fowls his thralls to be. Edmund Spenser.When some dreadful thunderclap is nigh,
The winged fire shoots swiftly through the sky;
Strikes and consumes ere scarce it does appear,
And, by the sudden ill, prevents the fear. Dryden.When suddenly the thunderclap was heard,
It took us unprepar’d, and out of guard. Dryden.
