Shot upward still direct, whence no way round

Lay waving round; on som great charge imployd

No where so cleer, sharpnd his visual ray [ 620 ]

To objects distant farr, whereby he soon

But first he casts to change his proper shape,

And now a stripling Cherube he appeers,

Breathe fort九*九*藏*書h Elixir pure, and Rivers run

Shadow from body opaque can fall, and the Aire,

To find who might direct his wandring flight

What wonder then if fields and region here

He seemd, or fixt in cogitation deep.

Of beaming sunnie Raies, a golden tiar [ 625 ]

Produces with Terr九-九-藏-書estrial Humor mixt [ 610 ]

Here matter new to gaze the Devil met

Sutable grace diffusd, so well he feignd;

But all Sun-shine, as when his Beams at Noon

In curles on either cheek plaid, wings he wore

His back was turnd, but not his brightness hid;

Here in the dark so many prec九_九_藏_書ious things

Circld his Head, nor less his Locks behind

Of colour glorious and effect so rare?

Of many a colourd plume sprinkld with Gold,

Saw within kenn a glorious Angel stand,

His journies end and our beginning woe.

Youth smild Celestial, and to every Limb

Under a Coronet his flowrｅaｄ.９9cｓw.ｃｏming haire [ 640 ]

Not of the prime, yet such as in his face

Glad was the Spirit impure as now in hope [ 630 ]

Which else might work him danger or delay: [ 635 ]

To Paradise the happie seat of Man,

His habit fit for speed succinct, and held

Undazld, farr and wide his eye commands,

For sihｔｔpｓ://ｒeａｄ•99cｓw•ｃoｍght no obstacle found here, nor shade, [ 615 ]

The same whom John saw also in the Sun:

Before his decent steps a Silver wand.

Illustrious on his Shoulders fledge with wings

Culminate from th Æquator, as they now

Th Arch-chimic Sun so farr from us remote

Potable Gold, when with one vertuous touch
