    See with what heat these Dogs of Hell advance

    To waste and havoder World, which I

    So fair and good created, and had still

    Kept in that State, had not the folly of Man

    Let in these wastful Furies, who impute [ 620 ]

    Folly to mee, so doth the Prince of Hell

    And his Adherents, that with so much ease

    I suffer them to enter and possess

    A place so heavnly, and iving seem

    To gratifie my sful Enemies, [ 625 ]

    That laugh, as if transported with some fit

    Of Passion, I to them had quitted all,

    At random yielded up to their misrule;

    And know not that I calld and drew them thither

    My Hell-hounds, to lick up the draff and filth [ 630 ]

    Which mans polluting Sin with taint hath shed

    On what ure, till crammd and gd, nigh burst

    With suckt and glutted offal, at one sling

    Of thy victorious Arm, well-pleasing Son,

    Both Sin, ah, and yawning Grave at last [ 635 ]

    Through Chaos hurld, obstruct the mouth of Hell

    For ever, and seal up his ravenous Jawes.

    Then Heavn ah renewd shall be made pure

    To sanctitie that shall receive no staine:

    Till then the Curse pronoun both precedes. [ 640 ]

    He ended, and the Heavnly Audience loud

    Sung Hallelui<bdo></bdo>a, as the sound of Seas,

    Through multitude that sung: Just are thy ways,

    Righteous are thy Decrees on all thy Works;

    Who  extenubbr>..</abbr>ate thee? , to the Son, [ 645 ]

    Destiorer of Mankind, by whom

    New Heavn ah shall to the Ages rise,

    Or down from Heavn desd. Such was thir song,

    While the Creator calling forth by name

    His mightie Angels gave them several charge, [ 650 ]

    As sorted best with present th<bdo></bdo>ings. The Sun

    Had first his precept so to move, so shine,

    As might affect the Earth with cold a

    Scarce tollerable, and from the North to call

    Decrepit Winter, from the South t [ 655 ]

    Solstitial summers heat. To the blanc Moone

    Her office<big></big> they prescribd, to th other five

    Thir plaarie motions and aspects

    Iile, Square, and Trine, and Opposite,

    Of noxious efficacie, and when to joyne [ 660 ]

    In <bdo></bdo>Synod unbenigne, and taught the fixt

    Thir influence malignant when to showre,

    Which of them rising with the Sun, or falling,

    Should prove tempestuous: To the Winds they set

    Thir ers, when with bluster to found [ 665 ]

    Sea, Aire, and Shoar, the Thunder when to rowle

    With terror through the dark Aereal Hall.
