That bring to my remembrance from what state

But with no friendly voice, and add thy name

That slumberd, wakes the bitter memorie

How due! yet all his good provd ill in me,

I fell, how glorious once above thy Spheare;

And understood not that a grateful mind [ 55 ]

Would set me highest, and in a moment quit

Satan, now first inflamd with rage, came down,

Of this new World; at whose sight all the Starrs

By change of place: N九-九-藏-書ow conscience wakes despair

One step no more then from himself can fly

Forgetful what from him I still receivd,

Ah wherefore! he deservd no such return

So burthensome, still paying, still to ow;

O Sun, to tell thee how I hate thy beams

O For that warning voice, which he who saw

Of that first Battel, and his flight to Hell:

Yet not rejoycing in his speed, though bold,

And wrought but malice; lifted up so high

Wo tｈtｔｐｓ://ｒeａｄ.９9ｃｓw.ｃｏmo the inhabitants on Earth! that now, [ 5 ]

Then when the Dragon, put to second rout,

While time was, our first-Parents had bin warnd

Begins his dire attempt, which nigh the birth [ 15 ]

In that bright eminence, and with his good

His troubld thoughts, and from the bottom stirr

O thou that with surpassing Glory crownd,

Came furious down to be revengd on men,

Sometimes towards Heavn and the full-blazing Sun,

Haplhttps://read.99csw.comy so scapd his mortal snare; for now

Worse; of worse deeds worse sufferings must ensue.

He brings, and round about him, nor from Hell

Th Apocalyps, heard cry in Heaven aloud,

Now rowling, boiles in his tumultuous brest,

The coming of thir secret foe, and scapd

The Tempter ere th Accuser of man-kind, [ 10 ]

Of what he was, what is, and what must be [ 25 ]

The debt immense of endless gratitude,

From me, whom he created 九九藏書what I was

Far off and fearless, nor with cause to boast,

The easiest recompence, and pay him thanks,

By owing owes not, but still pays, at once

Till Pride and worse Ambition threw me down [ 40 ]

And like a devillish Engine back recoiles

To wreck on innocent frail man his loss

I sdeind subjection, and thought one step higher [ 50 ]

Indebted and dischargd; what burden then?

What could be less then to afford him praise,

The Hell within https://read.99csw.comhim, for within him Hell [ 20 ]

Which now sat high in his Meridian Towre: [ 30 ]

Warring in Heavn against Heavns matchless King:

Then much revolving, thus in sighs began.

Hide thir diminisht heads; to thee I call, [ 35 ]

Lay pleasant, his grievd look he fixes sad,

Lookst from thy sole Dominion like the God

Upon himself; horror and doubt distract

Sometimes towards Eden which now in his view

Upbraided none; nor was his service hard. [ 45 ]
