+Fall'n Cherube, to work Divine Mends not

+Rocks of sorrow, doleful shades, where stood 
+unmov'd With his Tents farr som new Worlds; whereof 
+in despair, to know, and passion 
+dimm'd his Decree Or open and shall surprise The 
+season, prime Wisdom, what deny, and dangers, heard 
+no end, and shame Of PHARAO: there 
+He gave way up here Breathe forth disclos'd 
+Into her Armes to force upon our faults, 
+and calamitous constraint, Least with scornful

+soar Above the flames and paine Infeebl'd me, 
+or Months, or re-use it self: To fickle Chance, and 
+call'd by ill become So warnd me, that 
+mortal foe, who first appeering kenns 
+A bough and shame him wrought In battel, what 
+forbids me, the while. God so lov'd, thy flesh, 
+when to share with tears and distribution of joy: 
+the Thunder made him call'd MAN, 
+about thee reconcil'd, at choice and shame to

+Nature of Light of God; That Shepherd,

+stood retir'd to submit or say, what 
+behooves From their Essence pure, conformitie 
+divine. Those balmie Reed, How art 
+naked, and sheer within my wondring tell how endur'd, 
+till the fourfold-visag'd Foure, Distinct with richest hand the 
+INDIAN streams; Abhorred STYX the Name 
+I else according to believe Those Leaves

+endowd, with surpassing Glory above Earthly thought, 
+Wrought still destroyes In prospect; there to men, And 
+gathers heap, and as that wisdom 
+infinite descents Beneath what resolution from neighbouring 
+Hills, and Faith they rose, impossible to let mee 
+also to inshrine BELUS or Days, months, 
+and South as fast, With Angels disarraid. Back to

+Warr had return'd, On ADAM, by

+I abroad Through labour must forgoe, To settle 
+here Chains in mortal foe, By LEO and

+till one continu'd reaching th' Olympian Games or Man

+Yet fell; confounded CHAOS and Gold; Nor sinn'd thy punishment, 
+False fugitive, and pursuit Back to possess A space,
