《Paradise Lost Ⅹ》第4章


thence gatherd his own doom; which understood
not instant; but of future time。 with joy ' 345 '
and tidings fraught; to hell he now returnd;
and at the brink of chaos; neer the foot
of this new wondrous pontifice; unhopt
met who to meet him came; his ofspring dear。
great joy was at thir meeting; and at sight ' 350 '
of that stupendious bridge his joy encreasd。
long hee admiring stood; till sin; his faire
inchanting daughter; thus the silence broke。
o parent; these are thy magnific deeds;
thy trophies; which thou viewst as not thine own; ' 355 '
thou art thir author and prime architect:
for i no sooner in my heart divind;
my heart; which by a secret harmonie
still moves with thine; joind in connexion sweet;
that thou on earth hadst prosperd; which thy looks ' 360 '
now also evidence; but straight i felt
though distant from thee worlds between; yet felt
that i must after thee with this thy son;
such fatal consequence unites us three:
hell could no longer hold us in her bounds; ' 365 '
nor this unvoyageable gulf obscure
detain from following thy illustrious track。

thou hast atchievd our libertie; confind
within hell gates till now; thou us impowrd
to fortifie thus farr; and overlay ' 370 '
with this portentous bridge the dark abyss。
thine now is all this world; thy vertue hath won
what thy hands builded not; thy wisdom gaind
with odds what warr hath lost; and fully avengd
our foile in heavn; here thou shalt monarch reign; ' 375 '
there didst not; there let him still victor sway;
as battel hath adjudgd; from this new world
retiring; by his own doom alienated;
and henceforth monarchie with thee divide
of all things parted by th empyreal bounds; ' 380 '
his quadrature; from thy orbicular world;
or trie thee now more dangrous to his throne。
whom thus the prince of darkness answerd glad。
fair daughter; and thou son and grandchild both;
high proof ye now have givn to be the race ' 385 '
of satan (for i glorie in the name;
antagonist of heavns almightie king)
amply have merited of me; of all
th infernal empire; that so neer heavns dore
triumphal with triumphal act have met; ' 390 '
mine with this glorious work; and made one realm
hell and this world; one realm; one continent
of easie thorough…fare。 therefore while i
descend through darkness; on your rode with ease
to my associate powers; them to acquaint ' 395 '
with these successes; and with them rejoyce;
you two this way; among these numerous orbs
all yours; right down to paradise descend;
there dwell and reign in bliss; thence on the earth
dominion exercise and in the aire; ' 400 '
chiefly on man; sole lord of all declard;
him first make sure your thrall; and lastly kill。
my substitutes i send ye; and create
plenipotent on earth; of matchless might
issuing from mee: on your joynt vigor now ' 405 '
my hold of this new kingdom all depends;
through sin to death exposd by my exploit。

if your joynt power prevailes; th affaires of hell
no detriment need feare; goe and be strong。
so saying he dismissd them; they with speed ' 410 '
thir course through thickest constellations held
spreading thir bane; the blasted starrs lookt wan;
and planets; planet…strook; real eclips
then sufferd。 th other way satan went down
the causey to hell gate; on either side ' 415 '
disparted chaos over built exclaimd;
and with rebounding surge the barrs assaild;
that scornd his indignation: through the gate;
wide open and unguarded; satan passd;
and all about found desolate; for those ' 420 '
appointed to sit there; had left thir charge;
flown to the upper world; the rest were all
farr to the inland retird; about the walls
of pand?monium; citie and proud seate
of lucifer; so by allusion calld; ' 425 '
of that bright starr to satan paragond。
there kept thir watch the legions; while the grand
in council sate; sollicitous what chance
might intercept thir emperour sent; so hee
departing gave mand; and they observd。 ' 430 '
as when the tartar from his russian foe
by astracan over the snowie plaines
retires; or bactrian sophi from the hornes
of turkish crescent; leaves all waste beyond
the realm of aladule; in his retreate ' 435 '
to tauris or casbeen。 so these the late
heavn…banisht host; left desert utmost hell
many a dark league; reduct in careful watch
round thir metropolis; and now expecting
each hour thir great adventurer from the search ' 440 '
of forrein worlds: he through the midst unmarkt;
in shew plebeian angel militant
of lowest order; past; and from the dore
of that plutonian hall; invisible
ascended his high throne; which under state ' 445 '
of richest texture spred; at th upper end
was plact in regal lustre。 down a while
he sate; and round about him saw unseen:
at last as from a cloud his fulgent head
and shape starr bright appeerd; or brighter; clad ' 450 '
with what permissive glory since his fall
was left him; or false glitter: all amazd
at that so sudden blaze the stygian throng
bent thir aspect; and whom they wishd beheld;
thir mighty chief returnd: loud was th acclaime: ' 455 '
forth rushd in haste the great consulting peers;
raisd from thir dark divan; and with like joy
congratulant approachd him; who with hand
silence; and with these words attention won。
