But still I see the tenor of Mans woeHolds on the same, from Woman to begin.
From Mans effeminate slaess it begins,
Said th Angel, who should better hold his place [ 635 ]

Part wield thir Arms, part courb the foaming Steed,
Single or in Array of Battel rangd
Both Horse and Foot, nor idely mustring stood; [ 645 ]

A herd of Beeves, faire Oxen and faire Kine
From a fat Meddow ground; or fleecy Flock,

With Dart and Javlin, Stones and sulfurous Fire;
On each hand slaughter and gigantic deeds.

Grey-headed men and grave, with Warriours mixt,
Assemble, and Harangues are heard, but soon
In factious opposition, till at last

Explode<samp></samp>d, and had seizd with violent hands,
Had not a Cloud desding snatchd him thence [ 670 ]
Unseen amid the throng: so violence
Proceeded, and Oppression, and Sword-Law
Through all the Plain, and refuge none was found.
