fanatic egypt and her priests； to seek ＇ 480 ＇
thir wandring gods disguisd in brutish forms
rather then human。 nor did israel scape
th infection when thir borrowd gold posd
the calf in oreb： and the rebel king
doubld that sin in bethel and in dan； ＇ 485 ＇
likning his maker to the grazed ox；
jehovah； who in one night when he passd
from egypt marching； equald with one stroke
both her first born and all her bleating gods。
belial came last； then whom a spirit more lewd ＇ 490 ＇
fell not from heaven； or more gross to love
vice for it self： to him no temple stood
or altar smoakd； yet who more oft then hee
in temples and at altars； when the priest
turns atheist； as did elys sons； who filld ＇ 495 ＇
with lust and violence the house of god。
in courts and palaces he also reigns
and in luxurious cities； where the noyse
of riot ascends above thir loftiest towrs；
and injury and outrage： and when night ＇ 500 ＇
darkens the streets； then wander forth the sons
of belial； flown with insolence and wine。

witness the streets of sodom； and that night
in gibeah； when the hospitable door
exposd a matron to avoid worse rape。 ＇ 505 ＇
these were the prime in order and in might；
the rest were long to tell； though far renownd；
th ionian gods； of javans issue held
gods； yet confest later then heavn and earth
thir boasted parents； titan heavns first born ＇ 510 ＇
with his enormous brood； and birthright seisd
by younger saturn； he from mightier jove
his own and rheas son like measure found；
so jove usurping reignd： these first in creet
and ida known； thence on the snowy top ＇ 515 ＇
of cold olympus ruld the middle air
thir highest heavn； or on the delphian cliff；
or in dodona； and through all the bounds
of doric land； or who with saturn old
fled over adria to th hesperian fields； ＇ 520 ＇
and ore the celtic roamd the utmost isles。
all these and more came flocking； but with looks
down cast and damp； yet such wherein appeard
obscure some glimps of joy； to have found thir chief
not in despair； to have found themselves not lost ＇ 525 ＇
in loss it self； which on his countnance cast
like doubtful hue： but he his wonted pride
soon recollecting； with high words； that bore
semblance of worth； not substance； gently raisd
thir fainting courage； and dispeld thir fears。 ＇ 530 ＇
then strait mands that at the warlike sound
of trumpets loud and clarions be upreard
his mighty standard； that proud honour claimd
azazel as his right； a cherube tall：
who forthwith from the glittering staff unfurld ＇ 535 ＇
th imperial ensign； which full high advanct
shon like a meteor streaming to the wind
with gemms and golden lustre rich imblazd；
seraphic arms and trophies： all the while
sonorous mettal blowing martial sounds： ＇ 540 ＇
at which the universal host upsent
a shout that tore hells concave； and beyond
frighted the reign of chaos and old night。

all in a moment through the gloom were seen
ten thousand banners rise into the air ＇ 545 ＇
with orient colours waving： with them rose
a forest huge of spears： and thronging helms
appeard； and serried shields in thick array
of depth immeasurable： anon they move
in perfect phalanx to the dorian mood ＇ 550 ＇
of flutes and soft recorders； such as raisd
to hight of noblest temper heros old
arming to battel； and in stead of rage
deliberate valour breathd； firm and unmovd
with dread of death to flight or foul retreat； ＇ 555 ＇
nor wanting power to mitigate and swage
with solemn touches； troubld thoughts； and chase
anguish and doubt and fear and sorrow and pain
from mortal or immortal minds。 thus they
breathing united force with fixed thought ＇ 560 ＇
movd on in silence to soft pipes that charmd
thir painful steps ore the burnt soyle； and now
advanct in view； they stand； a horrid front
of dreadful length and dazling arms； in guise
of warriers old with orderd spear and shield； ＇ 565 ＇
awaiting what mand thir mighty chief
had to impose： he through the armed files
darts his experienct eye； and soon traverse
the whole battalion views； thir order due；
thir visages and stature as of gods； ＇ 570 ＇
thir number last he summs。 and now his heart
distends with pride； and hardning in his strength
glories： for never since created man；
met such imbodied force； as namd with these
could merit more then that small infantry ＇ 575 ＇
warrd on by cranes： though all the giant brood
of phlegra with th heroic race were joynd
that fought at thebs and ilium； on each side
mixt with auxiliar gods； and what resounds
in fable or romance of uthers son ＇ 580 ＇
begirt with british and armoric knights；

pare of mortal prowess； yet observd
thir dread mander： he above the rest
in shape and gesture proudly eminent ＇ 590 ＇
stood like a towr； his form had yet not lost
all her original brightness； nor appeard
less then arch angel ruind； and th excess
of glory obscurd： as when the sun new risn
looks through the horizontal misty air ＇ 595 ＇
shorn of his beams； or from behind the moon
in dim eclips disastrous twilight sheds
on half the nations； and with fear of change
perplexes monarchs。 darknd so； yet shon
above them all th arch angel： but his face ＇ 600 ＇
deep scars of thunder had intrencht； and care
sat on his faded cheek； but under browes
of dauntless courage； and considerate pride
waiting revenge： cruel his eye； but cast
