voyagd th unreal； vast； unbounded deep
of horrible confusion； over which
by sin and death a broad way now is pavd
to expedite your glorious march； but i
toild out my uncouth passage； forct to ride ＇ 475 ＇
th untractable abysse； plungd in the womb
of unoriginal night and chaos wilde；
that jealous of thir secrets fiercely opposd
my journey strange； with clamorous uproare
protesting fate supreame； thence how i found ＇ 480 ＇
the new created world； which fame in heavn
long had foretold； a fabrick wonderful
of absolute perfection； therein man
plact in a paradise； by our exile
made happie： him by fraud i have seducd ＇ 485 ＇
from his creator； and the more to increase
your wonder； with an apple； he thereat
offended； worth your laughter； hath givn up
both his beloved man and all his world；
to sin and death a prey； and so to us； ＇ 490 ＇
without our hazard； labour； or allarme；
to range in； and to dwell； and over man
to rule； as over all he should have ruld。
true is； mee also he hath judgd； or rather
mee not； but the brute serpent in whose shape ＇ 495 ＇
man i deceavd： that which to mee belongs；
is enmity； which he will put between
mee and mankinde； i am to bruise his heel；
his seed； when is not set； shall bruise my head：
a world who would not purchase with a bruise； ＇ 500 ＇
or much more grievous pain？ ye have th account
of my performance： what remains； ye gods；
but up and enter now into full bliss。

so having said； a while he stood； expecting
thir universal shout and high applause ＇ 505 ＇
to fill his eare； when contrary he hears
on all sides； from innumerable tongues
a dismal universal hiss； the sound
of public scorn； he wonderd； but not long
had leasure； wondring at himself now more； ＇ 510 ＇
his visage drawn he felt to sharp and spare；
his armes clung to his ribs； his leggs entwining
each other； till supplanted down he fell
a monstrous serpent on his belly prone；
reluctant； but in vaine： a greater power ＇ 515 ＇
now ruld him； punisht in the shape he sind；
according to his doom： he would have spoke；
but hiss for hiss returnd with forked tongue
to forked tongue； for now were all transformd
alike； to serpents all as accessories ＇ 520 ＇
to his bold riot： dreadful was the din
of hissing through the hall； thick swarming now
with plicated monsters head and taile；
scorpion and asp； and amphisb？na dire；
cerastes hornd； hydrus； and ellops drear； ＇ 525 ＇
and dipsas （not so thick swarmd once the soil
bedropt with blood of gorgon； or the isle
ophiusa） but still greatest hee the midst；
now dragon grown； larger then whom the sun
ingenderd in the pythian vale on slime； ＇ 530 ＇
huge python； and his power no less he seemd
above the rest still to retain； they all
him followd issuing forth to th open field；
where all yet left of that revolted rout
heavn…falln； in station stood or just array； ＇ 535 ＇
sublime with expectation when to see
in triumph issuing forth thir glorious chief；
they saw； but other sight instead； a crowd
of ugly serpents； horror on them fell；
and horrid sympathie； for what they saw； ＇ 540 ＇
they felt themselvs now changing； down thir arms；
down fell both spear and shield； down they as fast；
and the dire hiss renewd； and the dire form
catcht by contagion； like in punishment；
as in thir crime。 thus was th applause they meant； ＇ 545 ＇
turnd to exploding hiss； triumph to shame
cast on themselves from thir own mouths。 there stood
a grove hard by； sprung up with this thir change；
his will who reigns above； to aggravate
thir penance； laden with fruit like that ＇ 550 ＇
which grew in paradise； the bait of eve
usd by the tempter： on that prospect strange
thir earnest eyes they fixd； imagining
for one forbidden tree a multitude
now risn； to work them furder woe or shame； ＇ 555 ＇
yet parcht with scalding thurst and hunger fierce；
though to delude them sent； could not abstain；
but on they rould in heaps； and up the trees
climbing； sat thicker then the snakie locks
that curld meg？ra： greedily they pluckd ＇ 560 ＇
the frutage fair to sight； like that which grew
neer that bituminous lake where sodom flamd；
this more delusive； not the touch； but taste
deceavd； they fondly thinking to allay
thir appetite with gust； instead of fruit ＇ 565 ＇
chewd bitter ashes； which th offended taste
with spattering noise rejected： oft they assayd；
hunger and thirst constraining； drugd as oft；
with hatefullest disrelish writhd thir jaws
with soot and cinders filld； so oft they fell ＇ 570 ＇
into the same illusion； not as man
whom they triumphd once lapst。 thus were they plagud
and worn with famin； long and ceasless hiss；
till thir lost shape； permitted； they resumd；
yearly enjoynd； some say； to undergo ＇ 575 ＇
this annual humbling certain numberd days；
to dash thir pride； and joy for man seduct。

Paradise Lost Ⅹ14
however some tradition they dispersd
among the heathen of thir purchase got；
and fabld how the serpent； whom they calld ＇ 580 ＇
ophion with eurynome； the wide…
encroaching eve perhaps； had first the rule
of high olympus； thence by saturn drivn
and ops； ere yet dict？an jove was born。
mean while in paradise the hellish pair ＇ 585 ＇
too soon arrivd； sin there in power before；
once actual； now in body； and to dwell
habitual habitant； behind her death
close following pace for pace； not mounted yet
on his pale horse： to whom sin thus began。 ＇ 590 ＇
second of satan sprung； all conquering death；
what thinkst thou of our empire now； though earnd
with travail difficult； not better farr
then stil at hels dark threshold to have sate watch；
unnamd； undreaded； and thy self half starvd？ ＇ 595 ＇
whom thus the sin…born monster answerd soon。
to mee； who with eternal famin pine；
alike is hell； or paradise； or heaven；
there best； where most with ravin i may meet；
which here； though plenteous； all too little seems ＇ 600 ＇
to stuff this maw； th
