as when he washd his servants feet so now ＇ 215 ＇
as father of his familie he clad
thir nakedness with skins of beasts； or slain；
or as the snake with youthful coate repaid；
and thought not much to cloath his enemies：
nor hee thir outward onely with the skins ＇ 220 ＇
of beasts； but inward nakedness； much more
opprobrious； with his robe of righteousness；
araying coverd from his fathers sight。
to him with swift ascent he up returnd；
into his blissful bosom reassumd ＇ 225 ＇
in glory as of old； to him appeasd
all； though all…knowing； what had past with man
recounted； mixing intercession sweet。
meanwhile ere thus was sind and judgd on earth；
within the gates of hell sate sin and death； ＇ 230 ＇
in counterview within the gates； that now
stood open wide； belching outrageous flame
farr into chaos； since the fiend passd through；
sin opening； who thus now to death began。

o son； why sit we here each other viewing ＇ 235 ＇
idlely； while satan our great author thrives
in other worlds； and happier seat provides
for us his ofspring deare？ it cannot be
but that success attends him； if mishap；
ere this he had returnd； with fury drivn ＇ 240 ＇
by his avengers； since no place like this
can fit his punishment； or their revenge。
methinks i feel new strength within me rise；
wings growing； and dominion givn me large
beyond this deep； whatever drawes me on； ＇ 245 ＇
or sympathie； or som connatural force
powerful at greatest distance to unite
with secret amity things of like kinde
by secretest conveyance。 thou my shade
inseparable must with mee along： ＇ 250 ＇
for death from sin no power can separate。
but least the difficultie of passing back
stay his return perhaps over this gulfe
impassable； impervious； let us try
adventrous work； yet to thy power and mine ＇ 255 ＇
not unagreeable； to found a path
over this maine from hell to that new world
where satan now prevailes； a monument
of merit high to all th infernal host；
easing thir passage hence； for intercourse； ＇ 260 ＇
or transmigration； as thir lot shall lead。
nor can i miss the way； so strongly drawn
by this new felt attraction and instinct。
whom thus the meager shadow answerd soon。
goe whither fate and inclination strong ＇ 265 ＇
leads thee； i shall not lag behinde； nor erre
the way； thou leading； such a sent i draw
of carnage； prey innumerable； and taste
the savour of death from all things there that live：
nor shall i to the work thou enterprisest ＇ 270 ＇
be wanting； but afford thee equal aid；
so saying； with delight he snuffd the smell
of mortal change on earth。 as when a flock
of ravenous fowl； though many a league remote；
against the day of battel； to a field； ＇ 275 ＇
where armies lie encampt； e flying； lurd
with sent of living carcasses designd
for death； the following day； in bloodie fight。

so sented the grim feature； and upturnd
his nostril wide into the murkie air； ＇ 280 ＇
sagacious of his quarry from so farr。
then both from out hell gates into the waste
wide anarchie of chaos damp and dark
flew divers； and with power （thir power was great）
hovering upon the waters； what they met ＇ 285 ＇
solid or slimie； as in raging sea
tost up and down； together crowded drove
from each side shoaling towards the mouth of hell。
as when two polar winds blowing adverse
upon the cronian sea； together drive ＇ 290 ＇
mountains of ice； that stop th imagind way
beyond petsora eastward； to the rich
cathaian coast。 the aggregated soyle
death with his mace petrific； cold and dry；
as with a trident smote； and fixt as firm ＇ 295 ＇
as delos floating once； the rest his look
bound with gorgonian rigor not to move；
and with asphaltic slime； broad as the gate；
deep to the roots of hell the gatherd beach
they fastend； and the mole immense wraught on ＇ 300 ＇
over the foaming deep high archt； a bridge
of length prodigious joyning to the wall
immovable of this now fenceless world
forfeit to death； from hence a passage broad；
smooth； easie； inoffensive down to hell。 ＇ 305 ＇
so； if great things to small may be pard；
xerxes； the libertie of greece to yoke；
from susa his memnonian palace high
came to the sea； and over hellespont
bridging his way； europe with asia joynd； ＇ 310 ＇
and scourgd with many a stroak th indignant waves。
now had they brought the work by wondrous art
pontifical； a ridge of pendent rock
over the vext abyss； following the track
of satan； to the self same place where hee ＇ 315 ＇
first lighted from his wing； and landed safe
from out of chaos to the out side bare
of this round world： with pinns of adamant
and chains they made all fast； too fast they made
and durable； and now in little space ＇ 320 ＇
the confines met of empyrean heavn
and of this world； and on the left hand hell
with long reach interposd； three sevral wayes
in sight； to each of these three places led。

and now thir way to earth they had descrid； ＇ 325 ＇
to paradise first tending； when behold
satan in likeness of an angel bright
betwixt the centaure and the scorpion stearing
his zenith； while the sun in aries rose：
disguisd he came； but those his children dear ＇ 330 ＇
thir parent soon discernd； though in disguise。
hee after eve seduct； unminded slunk
into the wood fast by； and changing shape
to observe the sequel； saw his guileful act
by eve； though all unweeting； seconded ＇ 335 ＇
upon her husband； saw thir shame that sought
vain covertures； but when he saw descend
the son of god to judge them terrifid
hee fled； not hoping to escape； but shun
the present； fearing guiltie what his wrauth ＇ 340 ＇
might suddenly inflict； that past； returnd
by night； and listening where the hapless paire
sate in thir sad discourse； and various plaint；
thence gatherd his own doom； which understood
not instant； but of future time。 with joy ＇ 345 ＇
and tidings fraught；
