Of Sovran power, with awful Ceremony

Flie to and fro, or on the smoothed Plank,

Erring; for he with this rebellious rout

And Trumpets sound throughout the Host proclaim

Dropt from the Zenith like a falling Star, [ 745 ]

By all his Engins, but was headlong sent [ 750 ]

Attended: all access九*九*藏*書 was throngd, the Gates

A Summers day; and with the setting Sun

Nor was his name unheard or unadord

(Though like a coverd field, where Champions bold

And Porches wide, but chief the spacious Hall

In clusters; they among fresh dews and flowe九九藏書rs

Thick swarmd, both on the ground and in the air,

To Noon he fell, from Noon to dewy Eve,

From every Band and squared Regiment

In ancient Greece; and in Ausonian land

Of Satan and his Peers: thir summons calld

A solemn Councel forthwith to ｒｅad•９9csw.ｃoｍbe held [ 755 ]

With hunderds and with thousands trooping came [ 760 ]

Men calld him Mulciber; and how he fell [ 740 ]

Sheer ore the Chrystal Battlements: from Morn

In spring time, when the Sun with Taurus rides,

Wont ride in armd, and at the Soldans chair

Swarmd and were straitnd; till 九_九_藏_書the Signal givn.

Pour forth thir populous youth about the Hive [ 770 ]

Brusht with the hiss of russling wings. As Bees

On Lemnos th Ægean Ile: thus they relate,

To mortal combat or carreer with Lance)

At Pandæmonium, the high Capital

By place or choice the worthiest; they anon

From Heavn, they fabld, thrown by angry Jove

With his industrious crew to build in hell.

Mean while the winged Haralds by command

Fell long before; nor aught availd him now

Defid the best of Paynim chivalry [ 765 ]
