Էջ 18
Seest thou yon dreary plain , forlorn and wild , The seat of desolation , void of
light , Save what the glimmerings of these livid flames Casts pale and dreadful ?
Thither let us tend From off the tossings of these fiery waves ; There rest , if any
rest ...

Thou , at the sight Pleased , out of Heaven shalt look down and smile , While , by
thee raised , I ruin all my foes , Death last , and with his carcass glut the grave :

Descend from Heaven , Urania , by that name If rightly thou art call'd , whose
voice divine Following above the Olympian hill I soar , Above the flight of

Էջ 55 - men Cut off, and for the book of knowledge fair Presented with a universal blank Of nature's works, to me expunged and rased, And wisdom at one entrance quite shut out. So much the rather thou, celestial Light, Shine inward, and the mind through all her powers Irradiate ; there plant eyes,
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 17 - or from behind the moon, In dim eclipse, disastrous twilight sheds On half the nations, and with fear of change Perplexes monare.hs. Darken'd so, yet shone Above them all the Arch-Angel: but his face Deep scars of thunder had entrench'd ; and care Sat on his faded
Էջ 6 - ocean stream : Him, haply, slumbering on the Norway foam, The pilot of some small night-founder'd skiff Deeming some island, oft, as seamen tell, With fixed anchor in his scaly rind, Moots by his side under the lee, while night Invests the sea, and wished morn delays: So stretch'd out huge in length the Arch-Fiend lay,

Էջ 40 - free will, foreknowledge absolute, And found no end, in wandering mazes lost. Of good and evil much they argued then, Of happiness and final misery', Passion and apathy, and glory and shame ,Vain wisdom all, and false philosophy; Yet with a pleasing sorcery, could charm Pain for a while or

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.
