the consort of his reign; and by them stood
orcus and ades; and the dreaded name
of demogorgon; rumor next and chance; ' 965 '
and tumult and confusion all imbroild;
and discord with a thousand various mouths。

t whom satan turning boldly; thus。 ye powers
and spirits of this nethermost abyss;
chaos and ancient night; i e no spy; ' 970 '
with purpose to explore or to disturb
the secrets of your realm; but by constraint
wandring this darksome desart; as my way
lies through your spacious empire up to light;
alone; and without guide; half lost; i seek ' 975 '
what readiest path leads where your gloomie bounds
confine with heavn; or if som other place
from your dominion won; th ethereal king
possesses lately; thither to arrive
i travel this profound; direct my course; ' 980 '
directed no mean repence it brings
to your behoof; if i that region lost;
all usurpation thence expelld; reduce
to her original darkness and your sway
(which is my present journey) and once more ' 985 '
erect the standard there of ancient night;
yours be th advantage all; mine the revenge。
thus satan; and him thus the anarch old
with faultring speech and visage inposd
answerd。 i know thee; stranger; who thou art; ' 990 '
that mighty leading angel; who of late
made head against heavns king; though overthrown。
i saw and heard; for such a numerous host
fled not in silence through the frighted deep
with ruin upon ruin; rout on rout; ' 995 '
confusion worse confounded; and heavn gates
pourd out by millions her victorious bands
pursuing。 i upon my frontieres here
keep residence; if all i can will serve;
that little which is left so to defend ' 1000 '
encroacht on still through our intestine broiles
weakning the scepter of old night: first hell
your dungeon stretching far and wide beneath;
now lately heaven and earth; another world
hung ore my realm; linkd in a golden chain ' 1005 '
to that side heavn from whence your legions fell:
if that way be your walk; you have not farr;
so much the neerer danger; go and speed;
havock and spoil and ruin are my gain。

he ceasd; and satan staid not to reply; ' 1010 '
but glad that now his sea should find a shore;
with fresh alacritie and force renewd
springs upward like a pyramid of fire
into the wilde expanse; and through the shock
of fighting elements; on all sides round ' 1015 '
environd wins his way; harder beset
and more endangerd; then when argo passd
through bosporus betwixt the justling rocks:
or when ulysses on the larbord shunnd
charybdis; and by th other whirlpool steard。 ' 1020 '
so he with difficulty and labour hard
movd on; with difficulty and labour hee;
but hee once past; soon after when man fell;
strange alteration! sin and death amain
following his track; such was the will of heavn; ' 1025 '
pavd after him a broad and beatn way
over the dark abyss; whose boiling gulf
tamely endurd a bridge of wondrous length
from hell continud reaching th utmost orbe
of this frail world; by which the spirits perverse ' 1030 '
with easie intercourse pass to and fro
to tempt or punish mortals; except whom
god and good angels guard by special grace。
but now at last the sacred influence
of light appears; and from the walls of heavn ' 1035 '
shoots farr into the bosom of dim night
a glimmering dawn; here nature first begins
her fardest verge; and chaos to retire
as from her outmost works a brokn foe
with tumult less and with less hostile din; ' 1040 '
that satan with less toil; and now with ease
wafts on the calmer wave by dubious light
and like a weather…beaten vessel holds
gladly the port; though shrouds and tackle torn;
or in the emptier waste; resembling air; ' 1045 '
weighs his spread wings; at leasure to behold
farr off th empyreal heavn; extended wide
in circuit; undetermind square or round;
with opal towrs and battlements adornd
of living saphire; once his native seat; ' 1050 '
and fast by hanging in a golden chain
this pendant world; in bigness as a starr
of smallest magnitude close by the moon。
thither full fraught with mischievous revenge;
accurst; and in a cursed hour he hies。 ' 1055 '
the end of the second book。
