thence gatherd his own doom; which understood

not instant; but of future time。 with joy ' 345 '

and tidings fraught; to hell he now returnd;

and at the brink of chaos; neer the foot

of this new wondrous pontifice; unhopt

met who to meet him came; his ofspring dear。

great joy was at thir meeting; and at sight ' 350 '

of that stupendious bridge his joy encreasd。

long hee admiring stood; till sin; his faire

inchanting daughter; thus the silence broke。

o parent; these are thy magnific deeds;

thy trophies; which thou viewst as not thine own; ' 355 '

thou art thir author and prime architect:

for i no sooner in my heart divind;

my heart; which by a secret harmonie

still moves with thine; joind in connexion sweet;

that thou on earth hadst prosperd; which thy looks ' 360 '

now also evidence; but straight i felt

though distant from thee worlds between; yet felt

that i must after thee with this thy son;

such fatal consequence unites us three:

hell could no longer hold us in her bounds; ' 365 '

nor this unvoyageable gulf obscure

detain from following thy illustrious track。

thou hast atchievd our libertie; confind

within hell gates till now; thou us impowrd

to fortifie thus farr; and overlay ' 370 '

with this portentous bridge the dark abyss。

thine now is all this world; thy vertue hath won

what thy hands builded not; thy wisdom gaind

with odds what warr hath lost; and fully avengd

our foile in heavn; here thou shalt monarch reign; ' 375 '

there didst not; there let him still victor sway;

as battel hath adjudgd; from this new world

retiring; by his own doom alienated;

and henceforth monarchie with thee divide

of all things parted by th empyreal bounds; ' 380 '

his quadrature; from thy orbicular world;

or trie thee now more dangrous to his throne。

whom thus the prince of darkness answerd glad。

fair daughter; and thou son and grandchild both;

high proof ye now have givn to be the race ' 385 '

of satan (for i glorie in the name;

antagonist of heavns almightie king)

amply have merited of me; of all

th infernal empire; that so neer heavns dore

triumphal with triumphal act have met; ' 390 '

mine with this glorious work; and made one realm

hell and this world; one realm; one continent

of easie thorough…fare。 therefore while i

descend through darkness; on your rode with ease

to my associate powers; them to acquaint ' 395 '

with these successes; and with them rejoyce;

you two this way; among these numerous orbs

all yours; right down to paradise descend;

there dwell and reign in bliss; thence on the earth

dominion exercise and in the aire; ' 400 '

chiefly on man; sole lord of all declard;

him first make sure your thrall; and lastly kill。

my substitutes i send ye; and create

plenipotent on earth; of matchless might

issuing from mee: on your joynt vigor now ' 405 '

my hold of this new kingdom all depends;

through sin to death exposd by my exploit。

if your joynt power prevailes; th affaires of hell

no detriment need feare; goe and be strong。

so saying he dismissd them; they with speed ' 410 '

thir course through thickest constellations held

spreading thir bane; the blasted starrs lookt wan;

and planets; planet…strook; real eclips

then sufferd。 th other way satan went down

the causey to hell gate; on either side ' 415 '

disparted chaos over built exclaimd;

and with rebounding surge the barrs assaild;

that scornd his indignation: through the gate;

wide open and unguarded; satan passd;

and all about found desolate; for those ' 420 '

appointed to sit there; had left thir charge;

flown to the upper world; the rest were all

farr to the inland retird; about the walls

of pand?monium; citie and proud seate

of lucifer; so by allusion calld; ' 425 '

of that bright starr to satan paragond。

there kept thir watch the legions; while the grand

in council sate; sollicitous what chance

might intercept thir emperour sent; so hee

departing gave mand; and they observd。 ' 430 '

as when the tartar from his russian foe

by astracan over the snowie plaines

retires; or bactrian sophi from the hornes

of turkish crescent; leaves all waste beyond

the realm of aladule; in his retreate ' 435 '

to tauris or casbeen。 so these the late

heavn…banisht host; left desert utmost hell

many a dark league; reduct in careful watch

round thir metropolis; and now expecting

each hour thir great adventurer from the search ' 440 '

of forrein worlds: he through the midst unmarkt;

in shew plebeian angel militant

of lowest order; past; and from the dore

of that plutonian hall; invisible

ascended his high throne; which under state ' 445 '

of richest texture spred; at th upper end

was plact in regal lustre。 down a while

he sate; and round about him saw unseen:

at last as from a cloud his fulgent head

and shape starr bright appeerd; or brighter; clad ' 450 '

with what permissive glory since his fall

was left him; or false glitter: all amazd

at that so sudden blaze the stygian throng

bent thir aspect; and whom they wishd beheld;

thir mighty chief returnd: loud was th acclaime: ' 455 '

forth rushd in haste the great consulting peers;

raisd from thir dark divan; and with like joy

congratulant approachd him; who with hand

silence; and with these words attention won。

thrones; dominations; princedoms; vertues; powers; ' 460 '

for in possession such; not onely of right;

i call ye and declare ye now; returnd

successful beyond hope; to lead ye forth

triumphant out of this infernal pit

abominable; accurst; the house of woe; ' 465 '

and dungeon of our tyrant: now possess;

as lords; a spacious world; to our native heaven

little inferiour; by my adventure hard

with peril great atchievd。 long were to tell

what i have don; what sufferd; with what paine ' 470 '

voyagd th unreal; vast; unbounded deep

of horrible confusion; over which

by sin and death a broad way now is pavd

to expedite your glorious march; but i

toild out my uncouth passage; forct to ride ' 475 '

th untractable abysse; plungd in the womb

of unoriginal night and chaos wilde;

that jealous of thir secrets fiercely opposd

my journey strange; with clamorous uproare

protesting fate supreame; thence how i found ' 480 '

the new created world; which fame in heavn

long had foretold; a fabrick wonderful

of absolute perfection; therein man

plact in a paradise; by our exile

made happie: him by fraud i have seducd ' 485 '

from his creator; and the more to increase

your wonder; with an apple; he thereat

offended; worth your laughter; hath givn up

both his beloved man and all his world;

to sin and death a prey; and so to us; ' 490 '

without our hazard; labour; or allarme;

to range in; and to dwell; and over man

to rule; as over all he should have ruld。

true is; mee also he hath judgd; or rather

mee not; but the brute serpent in whose shape ' 495 '

man i deceavd: that which to mee belongs;

is enmity; which he will put between

mee and mankinde; i am to bruise his heel;

his seed; when is not set; shall bruise my head:

a world who would not purchase with a bruise; ' 500 '

or much more grievous pain? ye have th account

of my performance: what remains; ye gods;

but up and enter now into full bliss。

so having said; a while he stood; expecting

thir universal shout and high applause ' 505 '

to fill his eare; when contrary he hears

on all sides; from innumerable tongues

a dismal universal hiss; the sound

of public scorn; he wonderd; but not long

had leasure; wondring at himself now more; ' 510 '

his visage drawn he felt to sharp and spare;

his armes clung to his ribs; his leggs entwining

each other; till supplanted down he fell

a monstrous serpent on his belly prone;

reluctant; but in vaine: a greater power ' 515 '

now ruld him; punisht in the shape he sind;

according to his doom: he would have spoke;

but hiss for hiss returnd with forked tongue

to forked tongue; for now were all transformd

alike; to serpents all as accessories ' 520 '

to his bold riot: dreadful was the din

of hissing through the hall; thick swarming now

with plicated monsters head and taile;

scorpion and asp; and amphisb?na dire;

cerastes hornd; hydrus; and ellops drear; ' 525 '

and dipsas (not so thick swarmd once the soil

bedropt with blood of gorgon; or the isle

ophiusa) but still greatest hee the midst;

now dragon grown; larger then whom the sun

ingenderd in the pythian vale on slime; ' 530 '

huge python; and his power no less he seemd

above the rest still to retain; they all

him followd issuing forth to th open field;

where all yet left of that revolted rout

heavn…falln; in station stood or just array; ' 535 '

sublime with expectation when to see

in triumph issuing forth thir glorious chief;
