he said； and as the sound of waters deep
hoarce murmur echod to his words applause
through the infinite host； nor less for that
the flaming seraph fearless； though alone ＇ 875 ＇
enpassd round with foes； thus answerd bold。
o alienate from god； o spirit accurst；
forsakn of all good； i see thy fall
determind； and thy hapless crew involvd
in this perfidious fraud； contagion spred ＇ 880 ＇
both of thy crime and punishment： henceforth
no more be troubld how to quit the yoke
of gods messiah； those indulgent laws
will not now be voutsaft； other decrees
against thee are gon forth without recall； ＇ 885 ＇
that golden scepter which thou didst reject
is now an iron rod to bruise and breake
thy disobedience。 well thou didst advise；
yet not for thy advise or threats i fly
these wicked tents devoted； least the wrauth ＇ 890 ＇

distinguish not： for soon expect to feel
his thunder on thy head； devouring fire。
then who created thee lamenting learne；
when who can uncreate thee thou shalt know。 ＇ 895 ＇
so spake the seraph abdiel faithful found；
among the faithless； faithful only hee；
among innumerable false； unmovd；

nor number； nor example with him wrought
to swerve from truth； or change his constant mind
though single。 from amidst them forth he passd；
long way through hostile scorn； which he susteind
superior； nor of violence feard aught； ＇ 905 ＇
and with retorted scorn his back he turnd
on those proud towrs to swift destruction doomd。
the end of the fifth book。
