the force of those dire arms？ yet not for those；
nor what the potent victor in his rage ＇ 95 ＇
can else inflict； do i repent or change；
though changd in outward lustre； that fixt mind
and high disdain； from sence of injurd merit；
that with the mightiest raisd me to contend；
and to the fierce contention brought along ＇ 100 ＇
innumerable force of spirits armd
that durst dislike his reign； and me preferring；
his utmost power with adverse power opposd
in dubious battel on the plains of heavn；
and shook his throne。 what though the field be lost？ ＇ 105 ＇
all is not lost； the unconquerable will；
and study of revenge； immortal hate；
and courage never to submit or yield：
and what is else not to be overe？
that glory never shall his wrath or might ＇ 110 ＇
extort from me。 to bow and sue for grace
with suppliant knee； and deifie his power；
who from the terrour of this arm so late
doubted his empire； that were low indeed；
that were an ignominy and shame beneath ＇ 115 ＇
this downfall； since by fate the strength of gods
and this empyreal substance cannot fail；

since through experience of this great event
in arms not worse； in foresight much advanct；
we may with more successful hope resolve ＇ 120 ＇
to wage by force or guile eternal warr
irreconcileable； to our grand foe；
who now triumphs； and in th excess of joy
sole reigning holds the tyranny of heavn。

vaunting aloud； but rackt with deep despare：
and him thus answerd soon his bold peer。

that led th imbattelld seraphim to warr
under thy conduct； and in dreadful deeds ＇ 130 ＇
fearless； endangerd heavns perpetual king；
and put to proof his high supremacy；
whether upheld by strength； or chance； or fate；
too well i see and rue the dire event；
that with sad overthrow and foul defeat ＇ 135 ＇
hath lost us heavn； and all this mighty host
in horrible destruction laid thus low；
as far as gods and heavnly essences
can perish： for the mind and spirit remains
invincible； and vigour soon returns； ＇ 140 ＇
though all our glory extinct； and happy state
here swallowd up in endless misery。
but what if he our conquerour； （whom i now
of force believe almighty； since no less
then such could hav orepowrd such force as ours） ＇ 145 ＇
have left us this our spirit and strength intire
strongly to suffer and support our pains；
that we may so suffice his vengeful ire；
or do him mightier service as his thralls
by right of warr； what ere his business be ＇ 150 ＇
here in the heart of hell to work in fire；
or do his errands in the gloomy deep；
what can it then avail though yet we feel
strength undiminisht； or eternal being
to undergo eternal punishment？ ＇ 155 ＇

doing or suffering： but of this be sure；
to do ought good never will be our task；
but ever to do ill our sole delight； ＇ 160 ＇
as being the contrary to his high will
whom we resist。 if then his providence
out of our evil seek to bring forth good；
our labour must be to pervert that end；
and out of good still to find means of evil； ＇ 165 ＇
which oft times may succeed； so as perhaps
shall grieve him； if i fail not； and disturb
his inmost counsels from thir destind aim。
but see the angry victor hath recalld
his ministers of vengeance and pursuit ＇ 170 ＇
back to the gates of heavn： the sulphurous hail
shot after us in storm； oreblown hath laid
the fiery surge； that from the precipice
of heavn receivd us falling； and the thunder；
wingd with red lightning and impetuous rage； ＇ 175 ＇
perhaps hath spent his shafts； and ceases now
to bellow through the vast and boundless deep。
let us not slip th occasion； whether scorn；
or satiate fury yield it from our foe。
seest thou yon dreary plain； forlorn and wilde； ＇ 180 ＇
the seat of desolation； voyd of light；
save what the glimmering of these livid flames
casts pale and dreadful？ thither let us tend
from off the tossing of these fiery waves；
there rest； if any rest can harbour there； ＇ 185 ＇
and reassembling our afflicted powers；
consult how we may henceforth most offend
our enemy； our own loss how repair；
how overe this dire calamity；
what reinforcement we may gain from hope； ＇ 190 ＇
if not what resolution from despare。
