From cold Estotiland, and South as farr

Equal in Days and Nights, except to those [ 680 ]

Boreas and Cæcias and Argestes loud

Daughter of Sin, among th irrational,

With adverse blast up-turns them from the South

From the Suns Axle; they with labour pushd [ 670 ]

Outrage from liveless things; but Discord first

Alreadie in part, though hid in gloomiest shade,

From Serraliona; thwart oread.99csw.comf these as fierce

Some say he bid his Angels turne ascanse

Forth rush the Levant and the Ponent Windes

And Fish with Fish; to graze the Herb all leaving,

Notus and Afer black with thundrous Clouds

Vapour, and Mist, and Exhalation hot,

Thus to disburdn sought with sad complaint.

Devourd each other; nor stood much in awe

Bursting thir brazen Dungeon, armd with ice

Beread.99csw.comyond the Polar Circles; to them Day

Beneath Magellan. At that tasted Fruit

Like change on Sea and Land, sideral blast,

Had rounded still th Horizon, and not known

Sirocco, and Libecchio. Thus began

Had unbenighted shon, while the low Sun

Of Man, but fled him, or with countnance grim

To sorrow abandond, but worse felt within,

His course intended; else how had the World

Ob九九藏書lique the Centric Globe: Som say the Sun

Of Seasons to each Clime; else had the Spring

These changes in the Heavns, though slow, producd

And Thrascias rend the Woods and Seas upturn; [ 700 ]

Up to the Tropic Crab; thence down amaine [ 675 ]

Or East or West, which had forbid the Snow [ 685 ]

Eurus and Zephir with thir lateral noise, [ 705 ]

The Poles of Earth twice ten degrees and more

Berｅａｄ.９9cｓw•ｃoｍast now with Beast gan war, and Fowle with Fowle, [ 710 ]

Atlantick Sisters, and the Spartan Twins

Avoided pinching cold and scorching heate?

Glard on him passing: these were from without

To recompence his distance, in thir sight

Was bid turn Reines from th Equinoctial Rode

Corrupt and Pestilent: Now from the North [ 695 ]

The Sun, as from Thyestean Banquet, turnd

Of Norumbega, and the Samo九*九*藏*書ed shoar

And snow and haile and stormie gust and flaw,

Perpetual smild on Earth with vernant Flours,

By Leo and the Virgin and the Scales,

Death introducd through fierce antipathie:

And in a troubld Sea of passion tost,

The growing miseries, which Adam saw [ 715 ]

Like distant breadth to Taurus with the Seavn

As deep as Capricorne, to bring in change

Inhabited, though sinless, more then now, [ 690 ]
