second to thee； offerd himself to die
for mans offence。 o unexampld love； ＇ 410 ＇
love no where to be found less then divine！
hail son of god； saviour of men； thy name
shall be the copious matter of my song
henceforth； and never shall my harp thy praise
forget； nor from thy fathers praise disjoine。 ＇ 415 ＇
thus they in heavn； above the starry sphear；
thir happie hours in joy and hymning spent。
mean while upon the firm opacous globe
of this round world； whose first convex divides
the luminous inferior orbs； enclosd ＇ 420 ＇
from chaos and th inroad of darkness old；
satan alighted walks： a globe farr off
it seemd； now seems a boundless continent
dark； waste； and wild； under the frown of night
starless exposd； and ever…threatning storms ＇ 425 ＇
of chaos blustring round； inclement skie；
save on that side which from the wall of heavn
though distant farr some small reflection gaines
of glimmering air less vext with tempest loud：
here walkd the fiend at large in spacious field。 ＇ 430 ＇

Paradise Lost Ⅲ11

as when a vultur on imaus bred；
whose snowie ridge the roving tartar bounds；
dislodging from a region scarce of prey
to gorge the flesh of lambs or yeanling kids
on hills where flocks are fed； flies toward the springs ＇ 435 ＇
of ganges or hydaspes； indian streams；
but in his way lights on the barren plaines
of sericana； where chineses drive
with sails and wind thir canie waggons light：
so on this windie sea of land； the fiend ＇ 440 ＇
walkd up and down alone bent on his prey；
alone； for other creature in this place
living or liveless to be found was none；
none yet； but store hereafter from the earth
up hither like aereal vapours flew ＇ 445 ＇
of all things transitorie and vain； when sin
with vanity had filld the works of men：
both all things vain； and all who in vain things
built thir fond hopes of glorie or lasting fame；
or happiness in this or th other life； ＇ 450 ＇
all who have thir reward on earth； the fruits
of painful superstition and blind zeal；
naught seeking but the praise of men； here find
fit retribution； emptie as thir deeds；
all th unacplisht works of natures hand； ＇ 455 ＇
abortive； monstrous； or unkindly mixt；
dissolvd on earth； fleet hither； and in vain；
till final dissolution； wander here；
not in the neighbouring moon； as some have dreamd；
those argent fields more likely habitants； ＇ 460 ＇
translated saints； or middle spirits hold
betwixt th angelical and human kinde：
hither of ill…joynd sons and daughters born
first from the ancient world those giants came
with many a vain exploit； though then renownd： ＇ 465 ＇
the builders next of babel on the plain
of sennaar； and still with vain designe
new babels； had they wherewithall； would build：
others came single； he who to be deemd
a god； leapd fondly into ？tna flames ＇ 470 ＇
empedocles； and hee who to enjoy
platos elysium； leapd into the sea；
cleombrotus； and many more too long；
embryos and idiots； eremits and friers
white； black and grey； with all thir trumperie。 ＇ 475 ＇
here pilgrims roam； that strayd so farr to seek
in golgotha him dead； who lives in heavn；
and they who to be sure of paradise
dying put on the weeds of dominic；
or in franciscan think to pass disguisd； ＇ 480 ＇
they pass the planets seven； and pass the fixt；
and that crystalline sphear whose ballance weighs
the trepidation talkt； and that first movd；
and now saint peter at heavns wicket seems
to wait them with his keys； and now at foot ＇ 485 ＇
of heavns ascent they lift thir feet； when loe
a violent cross wind from either coast
blows them transverse ten thousand leagues awry
into the devious air； then might ye see
cowles； hoods and habits with thir wearers tost ＇ 490 ＇
and flutterd into raggs； then reliques； beads；
indulgences； dispenses； pardons； bulls；
the sport of winds： all these upwhirld aloft
fly ore the backside of the world farr off
into a limbo large and broad； since calld ＇ 495 ＇
the paradise of fools； to few unknown
long after； now unpeopld； and untrod；
all this dark globe the fiend found as he passd；
and long he wanderd； till at last a gleame
of dawning light turnd thither…ward in haste ＇ 500 ＇
his travelld steps； farr distant he descries
ascending by degrees magnificent
up to the wall of heaven a structure high；
at top whereof； but farr more rich appeerd
the work as of a kingly palace gate ＇ 505 ＇
with frontispice of diamond and gold
imbellisht； thick with sparkling orient gemmes
the portal shon； inimitable on earth
by model； or by shading pencil drawn。

the stairs were such as whereon jacob saw ＇ 510 ＇
angels ascending and descending； bands
of guardians bright； when he from esau fled
to padan…aram in the field of luz；
dreaming by night under the open skie；
and waking crid； this is the gate of heavn ＇ 515 ＇
each stair mysteriously was meant； nor stood
there alwayes； but drawn up to heavn somtimes
viewless； and underneath a bright sea flowd
of jasper； or of liquid pearle； whereon
who after came from earth； sayling arrivd； ＇ 520 ＇
wafted by angels； or flew ore the lake
rapt in a chariot drawn by fiery steeds。
the stairs were then let down； whether to dare
the fiend by easie ascent； or aggravate
his sad exclusion from the dores of bliss。 ＇ 525 ＇
direct against which opnd from beneath；
just ore the blissful seat of paradise；
a passage down to th earth； a passage wide；
wider by farr then that of after…times
over mount sion； and； though that were large； ＇ 530 ＇
over the promisd land to god so dear；
by which； to visit oft those happy tribes；
on high behests his angels to and fro
passd frequent； and his eye with choice regard
from paneas the fount of jordans flood ＇ 535 ＇
to beersaba； where the holy land
borders on ？gypt and th arabian shoare；
so wide the opning seemd； where bounds were set
to darkness； such as bound the ocean wave。
satan from hence now on the lower stair ＇ 540 ＇
that scald by steps of gold to heavn gate
looks down with wonder at the sudden view
of all this world at once。 as when a scout
through dark and desart wayes with peril gone
all night； at last by break of chearful dawne ＇ 545 ＇
obtains the brow of some high…climbing hill；
which to his eye discovers unaware
the goodly prospect of some forein land
first…seen； or some renownd metropolis
with glistering spires and pinnacles adornd； ＇ 550 ＇
which now the rising sun guilds with his beams。
such wonder seisd； though after heaven seen；
the spirit maligne； but much more envy seisd
at sight of all this world beheld so faire。

round he surveys； and well might； where he stood ＇ 555 ＇
so high above the circling canopie
of nights extended shade； from eastern point
