    This Eevning f<cite></cite>rom the Suns dee arrivd

    Who tells of som infernal Spirit seen

    Hitherward bent (who c藏书网ould have thought?) escapd

    The barrs of Hell, on errand bad no doubt: [ 795 ]

    Such where ye find, seise fast, and hither bring.

    So saying, on he led his radiant Files,

    Dazling the Moon; these to the Bower direct

    In search of whom they sought: him there they found

    Squat like a Toad, close at the eare of Eve; [ 800 ]

    Assaying by his Devilish art to reach

    The ans of her Fancie, and with them fe

    Illusions as he list, Phantasms and Dreams,

    Or if, inspiring venom, he might taint

    Th animal spirits that from pure blood arise [ 805 ]

    Like gentle breaths from Rivers pure, thence raise

    At least distemperd, distehoughts,

    Vaine hopes, vaine aimes, inordinate desires

    Blown up with high ceits ingendring pride.

    Him thus i Ithuriel with his Spear [ 810 ]

    Touchd lightly; for no falshood  endure

    Touch of Celestial temper, but returns

    Of force to its own likeness: up he starts

    Discoverd and surprizd. As when a spark

    Lights on a heap of nitrous Powder, laid [ <s></s>815 ]

    Fit for the Tun som Magazin to store

    Against a rumord Warr, the Smuttie graine

    With sudden blaze diffusd, inflames the Aire:

    So started up in his own shape the Fiend.

    Back stept those two fair Angels half amazd [ 820 ]

    So sudden to behold the grieslie King;

    Yet thus, unmovd with fear, accost him soon.

    Which of those rebell Spirits adjudgd to Hell

    st thou, escapd thy prison, and transformd,

    Why satst thou like an enemie in waite [ 825 ]

    Here watg at the head of these that sleep?

    Know ye not then said Satan, filld with s

    Know ye not mee? ye knew me onate

    For you, there sitting where ye durst not soare;

    Not to know mee argues your selves unknown, [ 830 ]

    The lowest of your throng; or if ye know,

    Why ask ye, and superfluous begin

    Your message, like to end as mu vain?

    To whom thus Zephon, answering s with s.

    Think not, revolted Spirit, thy shape the same, [ 835 ]

    Or undiminisht brightness, to be known

    As when thou stoodst in Heavn upright and pure;

    Th<q>藏书网</q>at Glorie then, when thou no more wast good,

    Departed from thee, and thou resemblst now

    Thy sin and place of doom obscure and foule. [ 840 ]
