Thrones and Imperial Powers, off-spring of heavn [ 310 ]Ethereal Vertues; or these Titles now
Must we renounce, and ging stile be calld
Princes of Hell? for so the popular vote
Ines, here to tinue, and build up here
A growing Emp<mark></mark>ire; doubtless; while we dream, [ 315 ]
And know not that the <s></s>King of Heavn hath doomd
This place our dungeon, not our safe retreat
Beyond his Po<bdi>.99liｂ.</bdi>tent arm, to live exempt
From Heavns high jurisdi, in new League
Banded against his Throne, but to remaine [ 320 ]
In strictest bohough thus far removd,
Uh iable curb, reservd
His captive multitude: For he, be sure
Ih or depth, still first and last will Reign
Sole King, and of his Kingdom loose no part [ 325 ]
By our revolt, but over Hell extend
His Empire, and with Iroer rule
Us here, as with his Golden those in Heavn.
What sit we then projeg pead Warr?
Warr hath determind us, and foild with loss [ 330 ]
Irreparable; tearms of peace yet none
Voutsaft or sought; for eace will be givn
To us enslavd, but custody severe,
And stripes, and arbitrary punishment
Inflicted? and eace we return, [ 335 ]
But to our power hostility and hate,<cite></cite>
Untamd relu<q></q>ce, and revehough slow,
Yet ever plotting how the queror least
May reap his quest, and may least rejoyce
In doing what we most in suffering feel? [ 340 ]
Nor will occasion want, nor shall we need
With dangerous expedition to invade
Heavn, whose high walls fear no assault or Siege,
Or ambush from the Deep. What if we find
Some easier enterprize? There is a place [ 345 ]
(If a and prophetic fame in Heavn
Err not) another World, the happy seat
Of some new Race calld Man, about this time
To be created like to us, though less
In power and excellence, but favourd more [ 350 ]
Of him who rules above; so was his will
Pronouncd among the Gods, and by an Oath,
That shook Heavns whol circumference, firmd.
