And faithful, now provd false. But think not here

These Acts of hateful strife, hateful to all,

Of Godlike Power: for likest Gods they seemd,

Or som more sudden vengeance wingd from God

The Adversarie. Nor think thou with wind

Thou fablest, here however to dwell free,

Thou and thy wicked crew; there mingle broilesrｅａd.9９cｓｗ.com,

Thy malice into thousands, once upright [ 270 ]

And join him namd Almighty to thy aid,

So spake the Prince of Angels; to whom thus

Heavns blessed peace, and into Nature brought

Ere this avenging Sword begin thy doome,

Unvanquisht, easier to transact with mee

Liken on Earth conspicuous, that may l九*九*藏*書ift

The strife of Glorie: which we mean to win, [ 290 ]

Thou canst not. Hast thou turnd the least of these

Unspeakable; for who, though with the tongue

Hence then, and evil go with thee along [ 275 ]

And thy adherents: how hast thou disturbd

Precipitate thee with augmented paine. [ 280 ]

Of Angels, can relate,ｈttｐs://ｒeａd.99ｃｓｗ•cｏm or to what things

Though heaviest by just measure on thy self [ 265 ]

The strife which thou callst evil, but wee style

Miserie, uncreated till the crime

Of thy Rebellion? how hast thou instilld

That thou shouldst hope, imperious, and with threats

Unnamd in Heavn, now plenteous, as thou seest

Fit to decide t九九藏書he Empire of great Heavn.

I flie not, but have sought thee farr and nigh. [ 295 ]

Human imagination to such highth [ 300 ]

Of airie threats to aw whom yet with deeds

Brooks not the works of violence and Warr.

To flight, or if to fall, but that they rise [ 285 ]

If not to reign: mean while thy utmost force,

Thy ofspring, to 九*九*藏*書the place of evil, Hell,

Author of evil, unknown till thy revolt,

Stood they or movd, in stature, motion, arms

From all her Confines. Heavn the seat of bliss

To trouble Holy Rest; Heavn casts thee out

To chase me hence? erre not that so shall end

They ended parle, and both addresst for fight

Or turn this Heavn it self into the Hell
