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
The suburb of thir Straw-built Cittadel,
In clusters; they among fresh dews and fl九_九_藏_書owers
New rubd with Baum, expatiate and confer
Thick swarmd, both on the ground and in the air,

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; til九-九-藏-書l 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)
To have built in Heavn high Towrs; nor did he scape
Thir State affairs. So thick the aerie c九九藏書rowd [ 775 ]
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 ]
