Thir course, in even ballance down they light

Beneath Gibralter to the Lybian sands. [ 355 ]

Glory of him that made them, to transform [ 370 ]

Be no memorial blotted out and rasd

They heard, and were abasht, and up they sprung

Upon the wing, as when men wont to watch

Oft to the Image of a Brute, adornd

Rouse and bestir themselves ere well awake.

God thir Creator, and th九-九-藏-書 invisible

Transfix us to the bottom of this Gulfe.

In which they were, or the fierce pains not feel;

Through Gods high sufferance for the tryal of man,

The Heads and Leaders thither hast where stood

Cherube and Seraph rowling in the Flood

Wavd round the Coast, up calld a pitchy cloud [ 340 ]

Yet to thir Generals Voyce they soon obeyd

That ore the Realm of impiｒeaｄ.９９cｓｗ•comous Pharaoh hung

Of Locusts, warping on the Eastern Wind,

A multitude, like which the populous North

Till, as a signal givn, th uplifted Spear

Or in this abject posture have ye sworn

Rhene or the Danaw, when her barbarous Sons

Nor had they yet among the Sons of Eve

On the firm brimstone, and fill all the Plain; [ 350 ]

Pourd never from her frozen loyns, to passｈｔｔpｓ://ｒｅaｄ•9９ｃｓｗ•coｍ

Of thir great Sultan waving to direct

With scatterd Arms and Ensigns, till anon [ 325 ]

Twixt upper, nether, and surrounding Fires;

Nor did they not perceave the evil plight [ 335 ]

With gay Religions full of Pomp and Gold,

By thir Rebellion, from the Books of Life.

Forthwith from every Squadron and each Band

Like Night, and darkend all the Land of Nile:

Of Amramsread.99csw.com Son in Egypts evill day

Came like a Deluge on the South, and spread

To adore the Conquerour? who now beholds

Though of thir Names in heavnly Records now

Thir great Commander; Godlike shapes and forms

Of Mankind they corrupted to forsake

On duty, sleeping found by whom they dread,

Hovering on wing under the Cope of Hell [ 345 ]

Excelling human, Princely Dignities,

Innumerable. A九*九*藏*書s when the potent Rod

Thus drooping, or with linked Thunderbolts

Th advantage, and descending tread us down

And Powers that earst in Heaven sat on Thrones; [ 360 ]

His swift pursuers from Heavn Gates discern

Got them new Names, till wandring ore the Earth, [ 365 ]

Awake, arise, or be for ever falln. [ 330 ]

By falsities and lyes the greatest part

So numberless were those bad Angels seen
