he said; and as the sound of waters deep
hoarce murmur echod to his words applause
through the infinite host; nor less for that
the flaming seraph fearless; though alone ' 875 '
enpassd round with foes; thus answerd bold。
o alienate from god; o spirit accurst;
forsakn of all good; i see thy fall
determind; and thy hapless crew involvd
in this perfidious fraud; contagion spred ' 880 '
both of thy crime and punishment: henceforth
no more be troubld how to quit the yoke
of gods messiah; those indulgent laws
will not now be voutsaft; other decrees
against thee are gon forth without recall; ' 885 '
that golden scepter which thou didst reject
is now an iron rod to bruise and breake
thy disobedience。 well thou didst advise;
yet not for thy advise or threats i fly
these wicked tents devoted; least the wrauth ' 890 '
impendent; raging into sudden flame
distinguish not: for soon expect to feel
his thunder on thy head; devouring fire。
then who created thee lamenting learne;
when who can uncreate thee thou shalt know。 ' 895 '
so spake the seraph abdiel faithful found;
among the faithless; faithful only hee;
among innumerable false; unmovd;
unshakn; unseducd; unterrifid
his loyaltie he kept; his love; his zeale; ' 900 '
nor number; nor example with him wrought
to swerve from truth; or change his constant mind
though single。 from amidst them forth he passd;
long way through hostile scorn; which he susteind
superior; nor of violence feard aught; ' 905 '
and with retorted scorn his back he turnd
on those proud towrs to swift destruction doomd。
the end of the fifth book。
