the ridges of grim warr； no thought of flight；
none of retreat； no unbeing deed
that argud fear； each on himself relid；
as onely in his arm the moment lay
of victorie； deeds of eternal fame ＇ 240 ＇
were don； but infinite： for wide was spred
that warr and various； somtimes on firm ground
a standing fight； then soaring on main wing
tormented all the air； all air seemd then
conflicting fire： long time in eeven scale ＇ 245 ＇
the battel hung； till satan； who that day
prodigious power had shewn； and met in armes
no equal； raunging through the dire attack
of fighting seraphim confusd； at length
saw where the sword of michael smote； and felld ＇ 250 ＇
squadrons at once； with huge two…handed sway
brandisht aloft the horrid edge came down
wide wasting； such destruction to withstand
he hasted； and opposd the rockie orb
of tenfold adamant； his ample shield ＇ 255 ＇
a vast circumference： at his approach
the great arch…angel from his warlike toile
surceasd； and glad as hoping here to end
intestine war in heavn； the arch foe subdud
or captive dragd in chains； with hostile frown ＇ 260 ＇
and visage all enflamd first thus began。

author of evil； unknown till thy revolt；
unnamd in heavn； now plenteous； as thou seest
these acts of hateful strife； hateful to all；
though heaviest by just measure on thy self ＇ 265 ＇
and thy adherents： how hast thou disturbd
heavns blessed peace； and into nature brought
miserie； uncreated till the crime
of thy rebellion？ how hast thou instilld
thy malice into thousands； once upright ＇ 270 ＇
and faithful； now provd false。 but think not here
to trouble holy rest； heavn casts thee out
from all her confines。 heavn the seat of bliss
brooks not the works of violence and warr。
hence then； and evil go with thee along ＇ 275 ＇
thy ofspring； to the place of evil； hell；
thou and thy wicked crew； there mingle broiles；
ere this avenging sword begin thy doome；
or som more sudden vengeance wingd from god
precipitate thee with augmented paine。 ＇ 280 ＇
so spake the prince of angels； to whom thus
the adversarie。 nor think thou with wind
of airie threats to aw whom yet with deeds
thou canst not。 hast thou turnd the least of these
to flight； or if to fall； but that they rise ＇ 285 ＇
unvanquisht； easier to transact with mee
that thou shouldst hope； imperious； and with threats
to chase me hence？ erre not that so shall end
the strife which thou callst evil； but wee style
the strife of glorie： which we mean to win； ＇ 290 ＇
or turn this heavn it self into the hell
thou fablest； here however to dwell free；
if not to reign： mean while thy utmost force；
and join him namd almighty to thy aid；
i flie not； but have sought thee farr and nigh。 ＇ 295 ＇
they ended parle； and both addresst for fight
unspeakable； for who； though with the tongue
of angels； can relate； or to what things
liken on earth conspicuous； that may lift
human imagination to such highth ＇ 300 ＇
of godlike power： for likest gods they seemd；
stood they or movd； in stature； motion； arms
fit to decide the empire of great heavn。

now wavd thir fierie swords； and in the aire
made horrid circles； two broad suns thir shields ＇ 305 ＇
blazd opposite； while expectation stood
in horror； from each hand with speed retird
where erst was thickest fight； th angelic throng；
and left large field； unsafe within the wind
of such motion； such as to set forth ＇ 310 ＇
great things by small； if natures concord broke；
among the constellations warr were sprung；
two planets rushing from aspect maligne
of fiercest opposition in mid skie；
should bat； and thir jarring sphears confound。 ＇ 315 ＇
together both with next to almightie arme；
uplifted imminent one stroke they aimd
that might determine； and not need repeate；
as not of power； at once； nor odds appeerd
in might or swift prevention； but the sword ＇ 320 ＇
of michael from the armorie of god
was givn him temperd so； that neither keen
nor solid might resist that edge： it met
the sword of satan with steep force to smite
descending； and in half cut sheere； nor staid； ＇ 325 ＇
but with swift wheele reverse； deep entring shard
all his right side； then satan first knew pain；
and writh d him to and fro convolvd； so sore
the griding sword with discontinuous wound
passd through him； but th ethereal substance closd ＇ 330 ＇
not long divisible； and from the gash
a stream of nectarous humor issuing flowd
sanguin； such as celestial spirits may bleed；
and all his armour staind ere while so bright。
forthwith on all sides to his aide was run ＇ 335 ＇
by angels many and strong； who interposd
defence； while others bore him on thir shields
back to his chariot； where it stood retird
from off the files of warr； there they him laid
gnashing for anguish and despite and shame ＇ 340 ＇
to find himself not matchless； and his pride
humbld by such rebuke； so farr beneath
his confidence to equal god in power。

yet soon he heald； for spirits that live throughout
vital in every part； not as frail man ＇ 345 ＇
in entrailes； heart or head； liver or reines；
cannot but by annihilating die；
nor in thir liquid texture mortal wound
receive； no more then can the fluid aire：
all heart they live； all head； all eye； all eare； ＇ 350 ＇
all intellect； all sense； and as they please；
they limb themselves； and colour； shape or size
assume； as likes them best； condense or rare。
mean while in other parts like deeds deservd
memorial； where the might of gabriel fought； ＇ 355 ＇
and with fierce ensignes piercd the deep array
of moloc furious king； who him defid
and at his chariot wheeles to drag him bound
threatnd； nor from the holie one of heavn
refreind his tongue blasphemous； but anon ＇ 360 ＇
down clovn to the waste； with shatterd armes
and uncouth paine fled bellowing。 on each wing
uriel and raphael his vaunting foe；
