the key of this infernal pit by due； ＇ 850 ＇
and by mand of heavns all…powerful king
i keep； by him forbidden to unlock
these adamantine gates； against all force
death ready stands to interpose his dart；
fearless to be ormatcht by living might。 ＇ 855 ＇
but what ow i to his mands above
who hates me； and hath hither thrust me down
into this gloom of tartarus profound；
to sit in hateful office here confind；
inhabitant of heavn； and heavnlie…born； ＇ 860 ＇
here in perpetual agonie and pain；
with terrors and with clamors passt round
of mine own brood； that on my bowels feed：
thou art my father； thou my author； thou
my being gavst me； whom should i obey ＇ 865 ＇
but thee； whom follow？ thou wilt bring me soon
to that new world of light and bliss； among
the gods who live at ease； where i shall reign
at thy right hand voluptuous； as beseems
thy daughter and thy darling； without end。 ＇ 870 ＇
thus saying； from her side the fatal key；
sad instrument of all our woe； she took；
and towards the gate rouling her bestial train；
forthwith the huge porcullis high up drew；
which but her self not all the stygian powers ＇ 875 ＇
could once have movd； then in the key…hole turns
th intricate wards； and every bolt and bar

before thir eyes in sudden view appear ＇ 890 ＇
the secrets of the hoarie deep； a dark
illimitable ocean without bound；
without dimension； where length； breadth； & highth；
and time and place are lost； where eldest night
and chaos； ancestors of nature； hold ＇ 895 ＇
eternal anarchie； amidst the noise
of endless warrs； and by confusion stand。
for hot； cold； moist； and dry； four champions fierce
strive here for maistrie； and to battel bring
thir embryon atoms； they around the flag ＇ 900 ＇
of each his faction； in thir several clanns；
light…armd or heavy； sharp； smooth； swift or slow；
swarm populous； unnumberd as the sands
of barca or cyrenes torrid soil；
levied to side with warring winds； and poise ＇ 905 ＇
thir lighter wings。 to whom these most adhere；
hee rules a moment； chaos umpire sits；
and by decision more imbroiles the fray
by which he reigns： next him high arbiter
chance governs all。 into this wilde abyss； ＇ 910 ＇
the womb of nature and perhaps her grave；
of neither sea； nor shore； nor air； nor fire；
but all these in thir pregnant causes mixt
confusdly； and which thus must ever fight；
unless th almighty maker them ordain ＇ 915 ＇
his dark materials to create more worlds；
into this wild abyss the warie fiend
stood on the brink of hell and lookd a while；
pondering his voyage： for no narrow frith
he had to cross。 nor was his eare less peald ＇ 920 ＇
with noises loud and ruinous （to pare
great things with small） then when bellona storms；
with all her battering engines bent to rase
som capital city； or less then if this frame
of heavn were falling； and these elements ＇ 925 ＇
in mutinie had from her axle torn
the stedfast earth。 at last his sail…broad vannes
he spreads for flight； and in the surging smoak
uplifted spurns the ground； thence many a league
as in a cloudy chair ascending rides ＇ 930 ＇
audacious； but that seat soon failing； meets
a vast vacuitie： all unawares
fluttring his pennons vain plumb down he drops
ten thousand fadom deep； and to this hour
down had been falling； had not by ill chance ＇ 935 ＇
the strong rebuff of som tumultuous cloud
instinct with fire and nitre hurried him
as many miles aloft： that furie stayd；
quencht in a boggy syrtis； neither sea；
nor good dry land： nigh founderd on he fares； ＇ 940 ＇
treading the crude consistence； half on foot；
half flying； behoves him now both oare and saile。
as when a gryfon through the wilderness
with winged course ore hill or moarie dale；
pursues the arimaspian； who by stelth ＇ 945 ＇
had from his wakeful custody purloind
the guarded gold： so eagerly the fiend
ore bog or steep； through strait； rough； dense； or rare；
with head； hands； wings； or feet pursues his way；
and swims or sinks； or wades； or creeps； or flyes： ＇ 950 ＇
at length a universal hubbub wilde
of stunning sounds and voices all confusd
borne through the hollow dark assaults his eare
with loudest vehemence： thither he plyes；
undaunted to meet there what ever power ＇ 955 ＇
or spirit of the nethermost abyss
might in that noise reside； of whom to ask
which way the neerest coast of darkness lyes
bordering on light； when strait behold the throne
of chaos； and his dark pavilion spread ＇ 960 ＇
wide on the wasteful deep； with him enthrond
sat sable…vested night； eldest of things；
the consort of his reign； and by them stood
orcus and ades； and the dreaded n
