The one seemd Woman to the waste, and fair, [ 650 ]

Hell bounds high reaching to the horrid Roof,

With mortal sting: about her middle round

Nor uglier follow the Night-Hag, when calld

But ended foul in many a scaly fould

Through the wide Ethiopian to the Cape

And kennel there, yet there still barkd and howld

If shape it might be calld tha九-九-藏-書t shape had none

Three Iron, three of Adamantine Rock,

Impenetrable, impald with circling fire,

Close sailing from Bengala, or the Iles

Yet unconsumd. Before the Gates there sat

Calabria from the hoarse Trinacrian shore:

Explores his solitary flight; som times

Ply stemming nightly toward the Pole. So seemd

Or substance might be九_九_藏_書 calld that shadow seemd,

Thir spicie Drugs: they on the Trading Flood [ 640 ]

Fierce as ten Furies, terrible as Hell,

Vexd Scylla bathing in the Sea that parts [ 660 ]

Farr off the flying Fiend: at last appeer

A cry of Hell Hounds never ceasing barkd

Distinguishable in member, joynt, or limb,

Up to the fiery Concave touring high. [ 63https://read.99csw.com5 ]

Within unseen. Farr less abhorrd than these

Hangs in the Clouds, by Æquinoctial Winds

Mean while the Adversary of God and Man,

With Lapland Witches, while the labouring Moon [ 665 ]

The likeness of a Kingly Crown had on.

As when farr off at Sea a Fleet descrid

He scours the right hand九-九-藏-書 coast, som times the left,

With wide Cerberian mouths full loud, and rung [ 655 ]

If aught disturbd thir noyse, into her woomb,

On either side a formidable shape;

For each seemd either; black it stood as Night, [ 670 ]

In secret, riding through the Air she comes

And shook a dreadful Dart; what seemd his head

Satan with thoughts inflamd of highes九*九*藏*書t design, [ 630 ]

Of Ternate and Tidore, whence Merchants bring

Now shaves with level wing the Deep, then soares

Eclipses at thir charms. The other shape,

Voluminous and vast, a Serpent armd

And thrice threefold the Gates; three folds were Brass, [ 645 ]

Puts on swift wings, and towards the Gates of Hell

A hideous Peal: yet, when they list, would creep,
