104 Th' infernal Serpent; he it was whose guile,
111 If he opposed, and with ambitious aim
121 To mortal men, he, with his horrid crew,
126 Torments him: round he throws his baleful eyes,
129 At once, as far as Angels ken, he views
154 "If thou beest he--but O how fallen! how changed
157 Myriads, though bright!--if he whom mutual league,

327 And what I should be, all but less than he
369 Nathless he so endured, till on the beach
370 Of that inflamed sea he stood, and called
449 Came singly where he stood on the bare strand,
471 Of Solomon he led by fraoud to build
482 Peor his other name, when he enticed
485 Yet thence his lustful orgies he enlarged
531 Where he fell flat and shamed his worshippers:
541 A leper once he lost, and gained a king--
542 Ahaz, his sottish conqueror, whom he drew
546 Whom he had vanquished. After these appeared
557 Jehovah, who, in one night, when he passed
563 Or altar smoked; yet who more oft than he
567 In courts and palaces he also reigns,
582 By younger Saturn: he from mightier Jove,
597 Like doubtful hue. But he, his wonted pride
641 Their number last he sums. And now his heart
689 Thrice he assayed, and thrice, in spite of scorn,
707 By me, have lost our hopes. But he who reigns
717 What force effected not; that he no less
721 There went a fame in Heaven that he ere long
810 Men called him Mulciber; and how he fell
813 To noon he fell, from noon to dewy eve,
817 Erring; for he with this rebellious rout
819 To have built in Heaven high towers; nor did he scape
854 Or dreams he sees, while overhead the Moon
939 Of his almighty engine, he shall hear
984 A fairer person lost not Heaven; he seemed
991 Timorous and slothful. Yet he pleased the ear,
998 When he who most excels in fact of arms,
999 In what he counsels and in what excels
1027 Can give it, or will ever? How he can
1028 Is doubtful; that he never will is sure.
1029 Will he, so wise, let loose at once his ire,
1111 We overpower? Suppose he should relent
1117 Forced hallelujahs, while he lordly sits
1143 As he our darkness, cannot we his light
1175 Aspect he rose, and in his rising seemed
1179 Majestic, though in ruin. Sage he stood
1183 Or summer's noontide air, while thus he spake:--
1197 His captive multitude. For he, to be sure,
1263 They vote: whereat his speech he thus renews:--
1283 Over the vast abrupt, ere he arrive
1287 Of Angels watching round? Here he had need
1291 This said, he sat; and expectation held
1316 If thence he scape, into whatever world,
1329 Of hazard more as he above the rest
1347 Which he through hazard huge must earn. But they

1563 "Art thou that traitor Angel? art thou he,
1607 Whate'er his wrath, which he calls justice, bids--
1659 Transformed: but he my inbred enemy
1664 I fled; but he pursued (though more, it seems,
1680 For want of other prey, but that he knows
1688 Save he who reigns above, none can resist."
1783 By which he reigns: next him, high arbiter,
1807 Fluttering his pennons vain, plumb-down he drops
1814 Nor good dry land--nigh foundered, on he fares,
1828 With loudest vehemence. Thither he plies
1895 So he with difficulty and labour hard
1896 Moved on, with difficulty and labour he;
1897 But, he once passed, soon after, when Man fell,
1929 Accursed, and in a cursed hour, he hies.
1992 From the pure empyrean where he sits
1999 His only son; on earth he first beheld
2004 In blissful solitude; he then survey'd
2013 Wherein past, present, future, he beholds,
2019 Wide interrupt, can hold; so bent he seems
2022 Through all restraint broke loose, he wings his way
2026 If him by force he can destroy, or, worse,
2032 Whose but his own? ingrate, he had of me
2033 All he could have; I made him just and right,
2078 Which uttering, thus he to his Father spake.
2093 His end, and frustrate thine? shall he fulfill
2114 Upheld by me, yet once more he shall stand
2116 By me upheld, that he may know how frail
2146 Die he or justice must; unless for him
2168 Happy for Man, so coming; he her aid
2206 Glad to be offered, he attends the will
2346 Regardless of the bliss wherein he sat
2407 Others came single; he, who, to be deemed
2409 Empedocles; and he, who, to enjoy
2436 All this dark globe the Fiend found as he passed,
2437 And long he wandered, till at last a gleam
2439 His travelled steps: far distant he descries
2450 Of guardians bright, when he from Esau fled
2493 Round he surveys (and well might, where he stood
2511 Allured his eye; thither his course he bends
2529 The place he found beyond expression bright,
2559 To objects distant far, whereby he soon
2572 But first he casts to change his proper shape,
2574 And now a stripling Cherub he appears,
2577 Suitable grace diffused, so well he feigned:
2579 In curls on either cheek played; wings he wore
2584 Ere he drew nigh, his radiant visage turned,
2603 All these his works so wonderous he ordained,
2674 Thus said, he turned; and Satan, bowing low,
2680 Nor staid, till on Niphates' top he lights.
2687 O, for that warning voice, which he, who saw
2711 Of what he was, what is, and what must be
2714 Lay pleasant, his grieved look he fixes sad;
2728 Ah, wherefore! he deserved no such return
2729 From me, whom he created what I was
2790 From granting he, as I from begging, peace;
2799 Thus while he spake, each passion dimmed his face
2804 Are ever clear. Whereof he soon aware,
2811 The way he went, and on the Assyrian mount
2815 As he supposed, all unobserved, unseen.
2816 So on he fares, and to the border comes
2866 Due entrance he disdained; and, in contempt,
2880 Thence up he flew, and on the tree of life,
2891 Beneath him with new wonder now he views,
2902 Out of the fertile ground he caused to grow
2983 For contemplation he and valour formed;
3042 When Satan still in gaze, as first he stood,
3066 Accept your Maker's work; he gave it me,
3082 Down he alights among the sportful herd
3086 To mark what of their state he more might learn,
3088 A lion now he stalks with fiery glare;
3093 Whence rushing, he might surest seize them both,
3105 Aught whereof he hath need; he who requires
3157 'Thy coming, and thy soft embraces, he
3183 Of her loose tresses hid: he in delight
3186 On Juno smiles, when he impregns the clouds
3222 So saying, his proud step he scornful turned,
3251 A Spirit, zealous, as he seemed, to know
3256 Where he first lighted, soon discerned his looks
3273 In whatsoever shape he lurk, of whom
3275 So promised he; and Uriel to his charge
3329 When first on this delightful land he spreads
3377 Chosen by the sovran Planter, when he framed
3472 From these, two strong and subtle Spirits he called
3483 So saying, on he led his radiant files,
3489 Illusions, as he list, phantasms and dreams;
3490 Or if, inspiring venom, he might taint
3499 Of force to its own likeness: Up he starts
3537 Undaunted. If I must contend, said he,
3584 His iron gates, if he intends our stay
3588 Thus he in scorn. The warlike Angel moved,
3596 So wise he judges it to fly from pain
3653 So threatened he; but Satan to no threats
3662 While thus he spake, the angelick squadron bright
3684 Wherein all things created first he weighed,
3687 Battles and realms: In these he put two weights,
3763 Ambrosia; on that tree he also gazed;
3764 And 'O fair plant,' said he, 'with fruit surcharged,
3770 This said, he paused not, but with venturous arm
3771 He plucked, he tasted; me damp horrour chilled
3773 But he thus, overjoyed; 'O fruit divine,
3788 So saying, he drew nigh, and to me held,
3790 Which he had plucked; the pleasant savoury smell
3835 So cheered he his fair spouse, and she was cheered;
3839 Each in their crystal sluice, he ere they fell
3930 Raphael, said he, thou hearest what stir on Earth
3933 This night the human pair; how he designs
3950 Lest, wilfully transgressing, he pretend
3955 Thousand celestial Ardours, where he stood
3964 Star interposed, however small he sees,
3977 Of towering eagles, to all the fowls he seems
3980 Bright temple, to Egyptian Thebes he flies.
3983 A Seraph winged: Six wings he wore, to shade
3991 Sky-tinctured grain. Like Maia's son he stood,
3997 Their glittering tents he passed, and now is come
4005 Adam discerned, as in the door he sat
4018 To us perhaps he brings, and will vouchsafe
4034 To entertain our Angel-guest, as he
4110 To whom the Angel. Therefore what he gives
4162 Who dwell in Heaven, whose excellence he saw
4166 Thus to the empyreal minister he framed.
4231 And good he made thee, but to persevere
4235 Our voluntary service he requires,
4365 Is heard no more in Heaven; he of the first,
4374 Friendliest to sleep and silence, he resolved
4404 Under him Regent; tells, as he was taught,
4468 Interpreted,) which not long after, he
4473 For thither he assembled all his train,
4531 Such as he pleased, and circumscribed their being?
4534 How provident he is; how far from thought
4548 But more illustrious made; since he the head
4603 Among the faithless, faithful only he;
4606 His loyalty he kept, his love, his zeal;
4609 Though single. From amidst them forth he passed,
4610 Long way through hostile scorn, which he sustained
4612 And, with retorted scorn, his back he turned
4638 War he perceived, war in procinct; and found
4639 Already known what he for news had thought
4640 To have reported: Gladly then he mixed
4730 Abdiel that sight endured not, where he stood
4741 That he, who in debate of truth hath won,
4747 Forth stepping opposite, half-way he met
4796 When he who rules is worthiest, and excels
4797 Them whom he governs. This is servitude,
4808 So saying, a noble stroke he lifted high,
4963 Yet soon he healed; for Spirits that live throughout
5067 As one he stood escaped from cruel fight,
5117 The invention all admired, and each, how he
5166 So warned he them, aware themselves, and soon
5187 So scoffing in ambiguous words, he scarce
5290 Had not the Almighty Father, where he sits
5294 That his great purpose he might so fulfil,
5298 The Assessour of his throne, he thus began.
5339 Shone full; he all his Father full expressed
5365 So said, he, o'er his scepter bowing, rose
5366 From the right hand of Glory where he sat;
5427 Vengeance is his, or whose he sole appoints:
5436 Therefore to me their doom he hath assigned;
5454 Among them he arrived; in his right hand
5455 Grasping ten thousand thunders, which he sent
5459 O'er shields, and helms, and helmed heads he rode
5472 Yet half his strength he put not forth, but checked
5473 His thunder in mid volley; for he meant
5475 The overthrown he raised, and as a herd
5511 Where now he sits at the right hand of bliss.
5519 With Satan; he who envies now thy state,
5520 Who now is plotting how he may seduce
5637 Held by thy voice, thy potent voice, he hears,
5711 So spake the Almighty, and to what he spake
5765 One foot he centered, and the other turned
5806 Dividing: for as earth, so he the world
5811 And Heaven he named the Firmament: So even
5845 Of congregated waters, he called Seas:
5892 A mighty sphere he framed, unlightsome first,
5896 Of light by far the greater part he took,
5994 As from his lair, the wild beast where he wons
6054 Eternal Father (for where is not he
6061 This said, he formed thee, Adam, thee, O Man,
6063 The breath of life; in his own image he
6066 Male he created thee; but thy consort
6085 Here finished he, and all that he had made
6094 Answering his great idea. Up he rode
6125 With his great Father; for he also went
6185 So charming left his voice, that he a while
6237 Chose rather; he, she knew, would intermix
6259 Conjecture, he his fabrick of the Heavens
6286 That Man may know he dwells not in his own;
6354 In what he gives to thee, this Paradise
6418 Lest he, incensed at such eruption bold,
6421 But us he sends upon his high behests
6483 So saying, by the hand he took me raised,
6495 My wandering, had not he, who was my guide
6516 'Of woe and sorrow.' Sternly he pronounced
6532 As thus he spake, each bird and beast behold
6643 Mine eyes he closed, but open left the cell
6652 The rib he formed and fashioned with his hands;
6680 Extracted: for this cause he shall forego
6827 So saying, he arose; whom Adam thus
6906 The space of seven continued nights he rode
6919 Where to lie hid; sea he had searched, and land,
6925 Ganges and Indus: Thus the orb he roamed
6940 Thus he resolved, but first from inward grief
6980 What he, Almighty styled, six nights and days
6994 With heavenly spoils, our spoils: What he decreed,
6995 He effected; Man he made, and for him built
7013 As high he soared; obnoxious, first or last,
7023 Like a black mist low-creeping, he held on
7024 His midnight-search, where soonest he might find
7025 The serpent; him fast-sleeping soon he found
7030 Fearless unfeared he slept: in at his mouth
7139 For he who tempts, though in vain, at least asperses
7150 Subtle he needs must be, who could seduce
7189 Of all that he created, much less Man,
7193 Against his will he can receive no harm.
7195 Reason, is free; and Reason he made right,
7242 Oft he to her his charge of quick return
7257 And on his quest, where likeliest he might find
7260 In bower and field he sought, where any tuft
7265 Eve separate; he wished, but not with hope
7267 Beyond his hope, Eve separate he spies,
7277 Nearer he drew, and many a walk traversed
7287 Much he the place admired, the person more.
7312 And tortures him now more, the more he sees
7314 Fierce hate he recollects, and all his thoughts
7355 To interrupt, side-long he works his way.
7359 So varied he, and of his tortuous train
7367 But as in gaze admiring: oft he bowed
7371 The eye of Eve to mark his play; he, glad
7593 Thy praise he also, who forbids thy use,
7601 In plain then, what forbids he but to know,
7607 How dies the Serpent? he hath eaten and lives,
7686 Great joy he promised to his thoughts, and new
7689 Misgave him; he the faltering measure felt;
7692 Of knowledge he must pass; there he her met,
7731 On the other side Adam, soon as he heard
7737 Speechless he stood and pale, till thus at length
7738 First to himself he inward silence broke.
7763 Thus in calm mood his words to Eve he turned.
7775 Nor yet on him found deadly; yet he lives;
7793 "He ruined, now Mankind; whom will he next?"
7834 Tenderly wept; much won, that he his love
7840 With liberal hand: he scrupled not to eat,
7856 Carnal desire inflaming; he on Eve
7877 So said he, and forbore not glance or toy
7880 Her hand he seised; and to a shady bank,
7901 To guilty Shame; he covered, but his robe
7942 So counselled he, and both together went
7993 Fraud in the Serpent, speaking as he spake;
7995 Why he should mean me ill, or seek to harm.
8078 I told ye then he should prevail, and speed
8085 In even scale. But fallen he is; and now
8088 Which he presumes already vain and void,
8089 Because not yet inflicted, as he feared,
8123 Thus saying, from his radiant seat he rose
8128 Down he descended straight; the speed of Gods
8133 The evening cool; when he, from wrath more cool,
8195 So having said, he thus to Eve in few.
8202 To judgement he proceeded on the accused
8208 Concerned not Man, (since he no further knew)
8228 Whom he shall tread at last under our feet;
8229 Even he, who now foretold his fatal bruise;
8234 Thine shall submit; he over thee shall rule.
8235 On Adam last thus judgement he pronounced.
8247 So judged he Man, both Judge and Saviour sent;
8253 As when he washed his servants feet; so now,
8254 As father of his family, he clad
8258 Nor he their outward only with the skins
8262 To him with swift ascent he up returned,
8278 Ere this he had returned, with fury driven
8310 So saying, with delight he snuffed the smell
8353 Of Satan to the self-same place where he
8368 Disguised he came; but those his children dear
8375 Vain covertures; but when he saw descend
8384 And tidings fraught, to Hell he now returned;
8390 Long he admiring stood, till Sin, his fair
8448 So saying he dismissed them; they with speed
8467 Might intercept their emperour sent; so he
8525 Your wonder, with an apple; he, thereat
8531 To rule, as over all he should have ruled.
8532 True is, me also he hath judged, or rather
8535 Is enmity which he will put between
8542 So having said, a while he stood, expecting
8544 To fill his ear; when, contrary, he hears
8547 Of publick scorn; he wondered, but not long
8549 His visage drawn he felt to sharp and spare;
8551 Each other, till supplanted down he fell
8554 Now ruled him, punished in the shape he sinned,
8555 According to his doom: he would have spoke,
8566 Ophiusa,) but still greatest he the midst,
8569 Huge Python, and his power no less he seemed
8706 Some say, he bid his Angels turn ascanse
8815 But mortal doomed. How can he exercise
8817 Can he make deathless death? That were to make
8820 Of weakness, not of power. Will he draw out,
8870 Outstretched he lay, on the cold ground; and oft
8874 Said he, with one thrice-acceptable stroke
8885 But her with stern regard he thus repelled.
8920 Or whom he wishes most shall seldom gain
8964 As one disarmed, his anger all he lost,
9020 Let us seek Death; -- or, he not found, supply
9066 And gracious temper he both heard, and judged,
9078 Clothed us unworthy, pitying while he judged;
9106 Repairing where he judged us, prostrate fall
9118 Undoubtedly he will relent, and turn
9120 When angry most he seemed and most severe,
9124 Repairing where he judged them, prostrate fell
9202 To the bright minister that watched; he blew
9227 The ground whence he was taken, fitter soil.
9343 Jacob in Mahanaim, where he saw
9351 Possession of the garden; he alone,
9378 Adam bowed low; he, kingly, from his state
9421 Where he abides, think there thy native soil.
9447 With worship place by place where he vouchsafed
9449 'On this mount he appeared; under this tree
9468 All the earth he gave thee to possess and rule,
9535 The world: in spirit perhaps he also saw
9544 The visual nerve, for he had much to see;
9558 His eyes he opened, and beheld a field,
9573 Whereat he inly raged, and, as they talked,
9575 That beat out life; he fell;and, deadly pale,
9582 To whom Michael thus, he also moved, replied.
9699 From underground;) the liquid ore he drained
9700 Into fit moulds prepared; from which he formed
9726 The bent of nature; which he thus expressed.
9829 But he, the seventh from thee, whom thou beheldst
9850 And testified against their ways; he oft
9855 But all in vain: which when he saw, he ceased
9901 Him or his children; evil he may be sure,
9903 And he the future evil shall no less
9949 Of Pharaoh: There he dies, and leaves his race
9953 Or violence, he of their wicked ways
9963 No sooner he, with them of man and beast
10001 An olive-leaf he brings, pacifick sign:
10028 Grieved at his heart, when looking down he saw
10032 That he relents, not to blot out mankind;
10036 With man therein or beast; but, when he brings
10081 A mighty hunter thence he shall be styled
10085 Though of rebellion others he accuse.
10123 Will he convey up thither, to sustain
10138 Man, till then free. Therefore, since he permits
10171 Which he will show him; and from him will raise
10174 All nations shall be blest: he straight obeys;
10183 Canaan he now attains; I see his tents
10185 Of Moreh; there by promise he receives
10211 Of Pharaoh. There he dies, and leaves his race
10215 Too numerous; whence of guests he makes them slaves
10243 Pursuing whom he late dismissed, the sea
10254 All night he will pursue; but his approach
10276 Shall tremble, he descending, will himself
10282 The Serpent, by what means he shall achieve
10286 And terrour cease; he grants what they besought,
10290 One greater, of whose day he shall foretel,
10294 Obedient to his will, that he vouchsafes
10367 From whom as oft he saves them penitent
10392 There in captivity he lets them dwell
10422 Without the vent of words; which these he breathed.
10441 Which he, who comes thy Saviour, shall recure,
10450 The law of God exact he shall fulfil
10459 For this he shall live hated, be blasphemed,
10463 But to the cross he nails thy enemies,
10467 In this his satisfaction; so he dies,
10482 Or theirs whom he redeems; a death, like sleep,
10484 Nor after resurrection shall he stay
10499 Then to the Heaven of Heavens he shall ascend
10546 Poured first on his Apostles, whom he sends
10660 Which he hath sent propitious, some great good
