"The furyous gonne‥cracketh in sonder: and in the ayer doeth rore the shevered peces."
That's quite hard to translate into modern English despite all the words being fairly obvious. I'm not too sure about "in sonder" but I'll go for "like thunder".
"The furious gun cracked like thunder: and in the ear it roared across the shattered peace"
However, I prefer the sound of the original.

It shows him the power he has in his hands, and erases all scruples by telling him what could be achieved with this power. ~ https://wiki.lspace.org/Gonne https://wiki.lspace.org/Gonne
