Էջ 8 - what I should be; all but less than he Whom thunder hath made greater ? Here at least We shall be free; the Almighty hath not built Here for his envy; will not drive us hence : Here we may reign secure, and, in my choice, To reign is worth ambition, though in Hell: Better to reign in
Էջ 300 - To the subjected plain , then disappear'd. They, looking back, all the eastern side beheld Of Paradise so late their happy seat, Waved over by that flaming brand; the gate With dreadful faces throng'd, and fiery arms: Some natural tears they dropp'd, but wiped them soon : The world was all before them, where to choose Their place of rest and providence

Էջ 197 - from each thing met conceives delight: The smell of grain, or tedded grass or kine, Or dairy, each rural sight, each rural sound ; If chance, with nymph-like step, fair virgin pass, What pleasing seem'd, for her now pleases more.
