the conquerd also; and enslavd by warr
shall with thir freedom lost all vertu loose
and fear of god; from whom thir pietie feignd
in sharp contest of battel found no aide ' 800 '
against invaders; therefore coold in zeale
thenceforth shall practice how to live secure;
worldlie or dissolute; on what thir lords
shall leave them to enjoy; for th earth shall bear
more then anough; that temperance may be trid: ' 805 '
so all shall turn degenerate; all depravd;
justice and temperance; truth and faith forgot;
one man except; the onely son of light
in a dark age; against example good;
against allurement; custom; and a world ' 810 '
offended; fearless of reproach and scorn;
or violence; hee of wicked wayes
shall them admonish; and before them set
the paths of righteousness; how much more safe;
and full of peace; denouncing wrauth to e ' 815 '
on thir impenitence; and shall returne
of them derided; but of god observd
the one just man alive; by his mand
shall build a wondrous ark; as thou beheldst;
to save himself and houshold from amidst ' 820 '
a world devote to universal rack。
no sooner hee with them of man and beast
select for life shall in the ark be lodgd;
and shelterd round; but all the cataracts
of heavn set open on the earth shall powre ' 825 '
raine day and night; all fountains of the deep
broke up; shall heave the ocean to usurp
beyond all bounds; till inundation rise
above the highest hills: then shall this mount
of paradise by might of waves be moovd ' 830 '
out of his place; pushd by the horned floud;
with all his verdure spoild; and trees adrift
down the great river to the opning gulf;
and there take root an iland salt and bare;
the haunt of seales and orcs; and sea…mews clang。 ' 835 '
to teach thee that god attributes to place
no sanctitie; if none be thither brought
by men who there frequent; or therein dwell。
and now what further shall ensue; behold。

he lookd; and saw the ark hull on the floud; ' 840 '
which now abated; for the clouds were fled;
drivn by a keen north… winde; that blowing drie
wrinkld the face of deluge; as decaid;
and the cleer sun on his wide watrie glass
gazd hot; and of the fresh wave largely drew; ' 845 '
as after thirst; which made thir flowing shrink
from standing lake to tripping ebbe; that stole
with soft foot towards the deep; who now had stopt
his sluces; as the heavn his windows shut。
the ark no more now flotes; but seems on ground ' 850 '
fast on the top of som high mountain fixt。
and now the tops of hills as rocks appeer;
with clamor thence the rapid currents drive
towards the retreating sea thir furious tyde。
forthwith from out the arke a raven flies; ' 855 '
and after him; the surer messenger;
a dove sent forth once and agen to spie
green tree or ground whereon his foot may light;
the second time returning; in his bill
an olive leafe he brings; pacific signe: ' 860 '
anon drie ground appeers; and from his arke
the ancient sire descends with all his train;
then with uplifted hands; and eyes devout;
grateful to heavn; over his head beholds
a dewie cloud; and in the cloud a bow ' 865 '
conspicuous with three listed colours gay;
betokning peace from god; and covnant new。
whereat the heart of adam erst so sad
greatly rejoycd; and thus his joy broke forth。
o thou that future things canst represent ' 870 '
as present; heavnly instructer; i revive
at this last sight; assurd that man shall live
with all the creatures; and thir seed preserve。
farr less i now lament for one whole world
of wicked sons destroyd; then i rejoyce ' 875 '
for one man found so perfet and so just;
that god voutsafes to raise another world
from him; and all his anger to forget。

but say; what mean those colourd streaks in heavn;
distended as the brow of god appeasd; ' 880 '
or serve they as a flourie verge to binde
the fluid skirts of that same watrie cloud;
least it again dissolve and showr the earth?
to whom th archangel。 dextrously thou aimst;
so willingly doth god remit his ire; ' 885 '
though late repenting him of man depravd;
grievd at his heart; when looking down he saw
the whole earth filld with violence; and all flesh
corrupting each thir way; yet those remoovd;
such grace shall one just man find in his sight; ' 890 '
that he relents; not to blot out mankind;
and makes a covenant never to destroy
the earth again by flood; nor let the sea
surpass his bounds; nor rain to drown the world
with man therein or beast; but when he brings ' 895 '
over the earth a cloud; will therein set
his triple…colourd bow; whereon to look
and call to mind his covnant: day and night;
seed time and harvest; heat and hoary frost
shall hold thir course; till fire purge all things new; ' 900 '
both heavn and earth; wherein the just shall dwell。
