ascend; i follow thee; safe guide; the path
thou leadst me; and to the hand of heavn submit;
however chastning; to the evil turne
my obvious breast; arming to over
by suffering; and earne rest from labour won; ' 375 '
if so i may attain。 so both ascend
in the visions of god: it was a hill
of paradise the highest; from whose top
the hemisphere of earth in cleerest ken
stretcht out to amplest reach of prospect lay。 ' 380 '
not higher that hill nor wider looking round;
whereon for different cause the tempter set
our second adam in the wilderness;
to shew him all earths kingdomes and thir glory。
his eye might there mand wherever stood ' 385 '
city of old or modern fame; the seat
of mightiest empire; from the destind walls
of cambalu; seat of cathaian can
and samarchand by oxus; temirs throne;
to paquin of sin?an kings; and thence ' 390 '
to agra and lahor of great mogul
down to the golden chersonese; or where
the persian in ecbatan sate; or since
in hispahan; or where the russian ksar
in mosco; or the sultan in bizance; ' 395 '
turchestan…born; nor could his eye not ken
th empire of negus to his utmost port
ercoco and the less maritim kings
mombaza; and quiloa; and melind;
and sofala thought ophir; to the realme ' 400 '
of congo; and angola fardest south;
or thence from niger flood to atlas mount
the kingdoms of almansor; fez and sus;
marocco and algiers; and tremisen;
on europe thence; and where rome was to sway ' 405 '
the world: in spirit perhaps he also saw
rich mexico the seat of motezume;
and cusco in peru; the richer seat
of atabalipa; and yet unspoild
guiana; whose great citie geryons sons ' 410 '
call el dorado: but to nobler sights
michael from adams eyes the filme removd
which that false fruit that promisd clearer sight
had bred; then purgd with euphrasie and rue
the visual nerve; for he had much to see; ' 415 '
and from the well of life three drops instilld。
so deep the power of these ingredients piercd;
eevn to the inmost seat of mental sight;
that adam now enforct to close his eyes;
sunk down and all his spirits became intranst: ' 420 '
but him the gentle angel by the hand
soon raisd; and his attention thus recalld。

[。小^说)网)
adam; now ope thine eyes; and first behold
th effects which thy original crime hath wrought
in some to spring from thee; who never touchd ' 425 '
th excepted tree; nor with the snake conspird;
nor sinnd thy sin; yet from that sin derive
corruption to bring forth more violent deeds。
his eyes he opnd; and beheld a field;
part arable and tilth; whereon were sheaves ' 430 '
new reapt; the other part sheep…walks and foulds;
ith midst an altar as the land…mark stood
rustic; of grassie sord; thither anon
a sweatie reaper from his tillage brought
first fruits; the green eare; and the yellow sheaf; ' 435 '
unculld; as came to hand; a shepherd next
more meek came with the firstlings of his flock
choicest and best; then sacrificing; laid
the inwards and thir fat; with incense strewd;
on the cleft wood; and all due rites performd。 ' 440 '
his offring soon propitious fire from heavn
consumd with nimble glance; and grateful steame;
the others not; for his was not sincere;
whereat hee inlie ragd; and as they talkd;
smote him into the midriff with a stone ' 445 '
that beat out life; he fell; and deadly pale
groand out his soul with gushing bloud effusd。
much at that sight was adam in his heart
dismaid; and thus in haste to th angel crid。
o teacher; some great mischief hath befalln ' 450 '
to that meek man; who well had sacrificd;
is pietie thus and pure devotion paid?
t whom michael thus; hee also movd; replid。
these two are brethren; adam; and to e
out of thy loyns; th unjust the just hath slain; ' 455 '
for envie that his brothers offering found
from heavn acceptance; but the bloodie fact
will be avengd; and th others faith approvd
loose no reward; though here thou see him die;
rowling in dust and gore。 to which our sire。 ' 460 '
alas; both for the deed and for the cause!

Paradise Lost Ⅺ11
/小。说+
but have i now seen death? is this the way
i must return to native dust? o sight
of terrour; foul and ugly to behold;
horrid to think; how horrible to feel! ' 465 '
to whom thus michael。 death thou hast seen
in his first shape on man; but many shapes
of death; and many are the wayes that lead
to his grim cave; all dismal; yet to sense
more terrible at th entrance then within。 ' 470 '
some; as thou sawst; by violent stroke shall die;
by fire; flood; famin; by intemperance more
in meats and drinks; which on the earth shall bring
diseases dire; of which a monstrous crew
before thee shall appear; that thou mayst know ' 475 '
what miserie th inabstinence of eve
shall bring on men。 immediately a place
before his eyes appeard; sad; noysom; dark;
a lazar…house it seemd; wherein were laid
numbers of all diseasd; all maladies ' 480 '
of gastly spasm; or racking torture; qualmes
of heart…sick agonie; all feavorous kinds;
convulsions; epilepsies; fierce catarrhs;
intestin stone and ulcer; colic pangs;
d?moniac phrenzie; moaping melancholie ' 485 '
and moon…struck madness; pining atrophie
marasmus and wide…wasting pestilence;
dropsies; and asthmas; and joint…racking rheums。
dire was the tossing; deep the groans; despair
tended the sick busiest from couch to couch; ' 490 '
and over them triumphant death his dart
shook; but delaid to strike; though oft invokt
with vows; as thir chief good; and final hope。
sight so deform what heart of rock could long
drie…eyd behold? adam could not; but wept; ' 495 '
though not of woman born; passion quelld
his best of man; and gave him up to tears
a space; till firmer thoughts restraind excess;
and scarce recovering words his plaint renewd。
o miserable mankind; to what fall ' 500 '
degraded; to what wretched state reservd!
