shall enter heaven long absent; and returne;
father; to see thy face; wherein no cloud
of anger shall remain; but peace assurd;
and reconcilement; wrauth shall be no more
thenceforth; but in thy presence joy entire。 ' 265 '
his words here ended; but his meek aspect
silent yet spake; and breathd immortal love
to mortal men; above which only shon
filial obedience: as a sacrifice
glad to be offerd; he attends the will ' 270 '
of his great father。 admiration seisd
all heavn; what this might mean; and whither tend
wondring; but soon th almighty thus replyd:
o thou in heavn and earth the only peace
found out for mankind under wrauth; o thou ' 275 '
my sole placence! well thou knowst how dear;
to me are all my works; nor man the least
though last created; that for him i spare
thee from my bosom and right hand; to save;
by loosing thee a while; the whole race lost。 ' 280 '
thou therefore whom thou only canst redeem;
thir nature also to thy nature joyn;
and be thy self man among men on earth;
made flesh; when time shall be; of virgin seed;
by wondrous birth: be thou in adams room ' 285 '
the head of all mankind; though adams son。
as in him perish all men; so in thee
as from a second root shall be restord;
as many as are restord; without thee none。
his crime makes guiltie all his sons; thy merit ' 290 '
imputed shall absolve them who renounce
thir own both righteous and unrighteous deeds;
and live in thee transplanted; and from thee
receive new life。 so man; as is most just;
shall satisfie for man; be judgd and die; ' 295 '
and dying rise; and rising with him raise
his brethren; ransomd with his own dear life。

Paradise Lost Ⅲ8
so heavnly love shall outdoo hellish hate;
giving to death; and dying to redeeme;
so dearly to redeem what hellish hate ' 300 '
so easily destroyd; and still destroyes
in those who; when they may; accept not grace。
nor shalt thou by descending to assume
mans nature; lessn or degrade thine owne。
because thou hast; though thrond in highest bliss ' 305 '
equal to god; and equally enjoying
god…like fruition; quitted all to save
a world from utter loss; and hast been found
by merit more then birthright son of god;
found worthiest to be so by being good; ' 310 '
farr more then great or high; because in thee
love hath abounded more then glory abounds;
therefore thy humiliation shall exalt
with thee thy manhood also to this throne;
here shalt thou sit incarnate; here shalt reign ' 315 '
both god and man; son both of god and man;
anointed universal king; all power
i give thee; reign for ever; and assume
thy merits; under thee as head supream
thrones; princedoms; powers; dominions i reduce: ' 320 '
all knees to thee shall bow; of them that bide
in heaven; or earth; or under earth in hell;
when thou attended gloriously from heavn
shalt in the sky appeer; and from thee send
the summoning arch…angels to proclaime ' 325 '
thy dread tribunal: forthwith from all windes
the living; and forthwith the cited dead
of all past ages to the general doom
shall hastn; such a peal shall rouse thir sleep。
then all thy saints assembld; thou shalt judge ' 330 '
bad men and angels; they arraignd shall sink
beneath thy sentence; hell her numbers full;
thenceforth shall be for ever shut。 mean while
the world shall burn; and from her ashes spring
new heavn and earth; wherein the just shall dwell ' 335 '
and after all thir tribulations long
see golden days; fruitful of golden deeds;
with joy and love triumphing; and fair truth。

:
then thou thy regal scepter shalt lay by;
for regal scepter then no more shall need; ' 340 '
god shall be all in all。 but all ye gods;
adore him; who to pass all this dies;
adore the son; and honour him as mee。
no sooner had th almighty ceast; but all
the multitude of angels with a shout ' 345 '
loud as from numbers without number; sweet
as from blest voices; uttering joy; heavn rung
with jubilee; and loud hosannas filld
th eternal regions: lowly reverent
towards either throne they bow; and to the ground ' 350 '
with solemn adoration down they cast
thir crowns inwove with amarant and gold;
immortal amarant; a flour which once
in paradise; fast by the tree of life
began to bloom; but soon for mans offence ' 355 '
to heavn removd where first it grew; there grows;
and flours aloft shading the fount of life;
and where the river of bliss through midst of heavn
rowls ore elisian flours her amber stream;
with these that never fade the spirits elect ' 360 '
bind thir resplendent locks inwreathd with beams;
now in loose garlands thick thrown off; the bright
pavement that like a sea of jasper shon
impurpld with celestial roses smild。
then crownd again thir goldn harps they took; ' 365 '
harps ever tund; that glittering by thir side
like quivers hung; and with pr?amble sweet
of charming symphonie they introduce
thir sacred song; and waken raptures high;
no voice exempt; no voice but well could joine ' 370 '
melodious part; such concord is in heavn。
thee father first they sung omnipotent;
immutable; immortal; infinite;
eternal king; thee author of all being;
fountain of light; thy self invisible ' 375 '
amidst the glorious brightness where thou sitst
thrond inaccessible; but when thou shadst
the full blaze of thy beams; and through a cloud
drawn round about thee like a radiant shrine;
dark with excessive bright thy skirts appeer; ' 380 '
yet dazle heavn; that brightest seraphim
approach not; but with both wings veil thir eyes;
thee next they sang of all creation first;
begotten son; divine similitude;
in whose conspicuous countnance; without cloud ' 385 '
made visible; th almighty father shines;
whom else no creature can behold; on thee
impresst the effulgence of his glorie abides;
transfusd on thee his ample spirit rests。

hee heavn of heavens and all the powers therein ' 390 '
by thee created; and by thee threw down
th aspiring dominations: thou that day
thy fathers dreadful thunder didst not spare;
nor stop thy flaming chariot wheels; that shook
heavns everlasting frame; while ore the necks ' 395 '
thou drovst of warring angels disarraid。
back from pursuit thy powers with loud acclaime
thee only extolld; son of thy fathers might;
to execute fierce vengeance on his foes;
not so on man; him through their malice falln; ' 400 '
father of mercie and grace; thou didst not doome
so strictly; but much more to pitie encline:
no sooner did thy dear and onely son
perceive thee purposd not to doom frail man
so strictly; but much more to pitie enclind; ' 405 '
he to appease thy wrauth; and end the strife
of mercy and justice in thy face discernd;
regardless of the bliss wherein hee sat
second to thee; offerd himself to die
for mans offence。 o unexampld love; ' 410 '
love no where to be found less th
