    So sehe grim Feature, and upturnd

    His Nostril wide into<var>?９９ｌiｂ?</var> the murkie Air, [ 280 ]

    Sagacious of his Quarry from so farr.

    Then Both from out Hell Gates into the waste

    Wide Anarchie of Chaos damp and dark

    Flew divers, and with Power (thir Power was great)

    H upoers; what they met [ 285 ]

    Solid or slimie, as in raging Sea

    Tost up and down, together crowded drove

    From each side shoaling towards the mouth of Hell.

    As when two Polar Winds blowing adverse

    Upon the iaogether drive [ 290 ]

    Mountains of Ice, that stop th imagind way

    Beyosora Eastward, to the rich

    Cathaian Coast. The aggregated Soyle

    Death with his Mace petrific, cold and dry,

    As with a Trident smote, and fixt as firm [ 295 ]

    As Delos floating ohe rest his look

    Bound with Gonian rigor not to move,

    And with Asphaltic slime; broad as the Gate,

    Deep to the Roots of Hell the gatherd beach

    They fastend, and the Mole immense wraught on [ 300 ]

    Over the foaming deep high Archt, a Bridge

    Of length prodigious joyning to the Wall

    Immovable of this now fenceless world

    Forfeit to Death; from hence a passage broad,

    Smooth, easie, inoffensive down to Hell. <dfn>99ｌｉb?</dfn>[ 305 ]

    So, if great things to small may be pard,

    Xerxes, the Libertie of Greece to yoke,

    From Susa his Memnonian Palace high

    Came to the Sea, and over Hellespont

    Bridging his way, Europe with Asia joynd, [ 310 ]

    And scd with many a stroak th indignant waves.

    Now had they brought the work by wondrous Art

    Pontifical, a ridge of pe Rock

    Over the vext Abyss, following the track

    Of Satan, to the self same place where hee [ 315 ]

    First l<bdi>９9lｉb?</bdi>ighted from his Wing, and landed safe

    From out of Chaos to the99ｌｉb? out side bare

    Of this round World: with Pinns of Adamant

    And s they made all fast, too fast they made

    And durable; and now in little space [ 320 ]

    The fines met of Empyrean Heavn

    And of this World, and on the left hand Hell

    With long reaterposd; three sevral wayes

    In sight, to each of these three places led.
