《Paradise Lost Ⅹ》第6章


which here; though plenteous; all too little seems ' 600 '
to stuff this maw; this vast unhide…bound corps。
to whom th incestuous mother thus replid。
thou therefore on these herbs; and fruits; and flours
feed first; on each beast next; and fish; and fowle;
no homely morsels; and whatever thing ' 605 '
the sithe of time mowes down; devour unspard;
till i in man residing through the race;
his thoughts; his looks; words; actions all infect;
and season him thy last and sweetest prey。
this said; they both betook them several wayes; ' 610 '
both to destroy; or unimmortal make
all kinds; and for destruction to mature
sooner or later; which th almightie seeing;
from his transcendent seat the saints among;
to those bright orders utterd thus his voice。 ' 615 '

生?
see with what heat these dogs of hell advance
to waste and havoc yonder world; which i
so fair and good created; and had still
kept in that state; had not the folly of man
let in these wastful furies; who impute ' 620 '
folly to mee; so doth the prince of hell
and his adherents; that with so much ease
i suffer them to enter and possess
a place so heavnly; and conniving seem
to gratifie my scornful enemies; ' 625 '
that laugh; as if transported with some fit
of passion; i to them had quitted all;
at random yielded up to their misrule;
and know not that i calld and drew them thither
my hell…hounds; to lick up the draff and filth ' 630 '
which mans polluting sin with taint hath shed
on what was pure; till crammd and gorgd; nigh burst
with suckt and glutted offal; at one sling
of thy victorious arm; well…pleasing son;
both sin; and death; and yawning grave at last ' 635 '
through chaos hurld; obstruct the mouth of hell
for ever; and seal up his ravenous jawes。
then heavn and earth renewd shall be made pure
to sanctitie that shall receive no staine:
till then the curse pronounct on both precedes。 ' 640 '
he ended; and the heavnly audience loud
sung halleluia; as the sound of seas;
through multitude that sung: just are thy ways;
righteous are thy decrees on all thy works;
who can extenuate thee? next; to the son; ' 645 '
destind restorer of mankind; by whom
new heavn and earth shall to the ages rise;
or down from heavn descend。 such was thir song;
while the creator calling forth by name
his mightie angels gave them several charge; ' 650 '
as sorted best with present things。 the sun
had first his precept so to move; so shine;
as might affect the earth with cold and heat
scarce tollerable; and from the north to call
decrepit winter; from the south to bring ' 655 '
solstitial summers heat。 to the blanc moone
her office they prescribd; to th other five
thir planetarie motions and aspects
in sextile; square; and trine; and opposite;
of noxious efficacie; and when to joyne ' 660 '
in synod unbenigne; and taught the fixt
thir influence malignant when to showre;
which of them rising with the sun; or falling;
should prove tempestuous: to the winds they set
thir corners; when with bluster to confound ' 665 '
sea; aire; and shoar; the thunder when to rowle
with terror through the dark aereal hall。

Paradise Lost Ⅹ16

some say he bid his angels turne ascanse
the poles of earth twice ten degrees and more
from the suns axle; they with labour pushd ' 670 '
oblique the centric globe: som say the sun
was bid turn reines from th equinoctial rode
like distant breadth to taurus with the seavn
atlantick sisters; and the spartan twins
up to the tropic crab; thence down amaine ' 675 '
by leo and the virgin and the scales;
as deep as capricorne; to bring in change
of seasons to each clime; else had the spring
perpetual smild on earth with vernant flours;
equal in days and nights; except to those ' 680 '
beyond the polar circles; to them day
had unbenighted shon; while the low sun
to repence his distance; in thir sight
had rounded still th horizon; and not known
or east or west; which had forbid the snow ' 685 '
from cold estotiland; and south as farr
beneath magellan。 at that tasted fruit
the sun; as from thyestean banquet; turnd
his course intended; else how had the world
inhabited; though sinless; more then now; ' 690 '
avoided pinching cold and scorching heate?
these changes in the heavns; though slow; producd
like change on sea and land; sideral blast;
vapour; and mist; and exhalation hot;
corrupt and pestilent: now from the north ' 695 '
of norumbega; and the samoed shoar
bursting thir brazen dungeon; armd with ice
and snow and haile and stormie gust and flaw;
boreas and c?cias and argestes loud
and thrascias rend the woods and seas upturn; ' 700 '
with adverse blast up…turns them from the south
notus and afer black with thundrous clouds
from serraliona; thwart of these as fierce
forth rush the levant and the ponent windes
eurus and zephir with thir lateral noise; ' 705 '
sirocco; and libecchio。 thus began
outrage from liveless things; but discord first
daughter of sin; among th irrational;
death introducd through fierce antipathie:
beast now with beast gan war; and fowle with fowle; ' 710 '
and fish with fish; to graze the herb all leaving;
devourd each other; nor stood much in awe
of man; but fled him; or with countnance grim
glard on him passing: these were from without
the growing miseries; which adam saw ' 715 '
alreadie in part; though hid in gloomiest shade;
to sorrow abandond; but worse felt within;
and in a troubld sea of passion tost;
thus to disburdn sought with sad plaint。

Paradise Lost Ⅹ17

o miserable of happie! is this the end ' 720 '
of this new glorious world; and mee so late
the glory of that glory; who now be
accurst of blessed; hide me from the face
of god; whom to behold was then my highth
of happiness: yet well; if here would end ' 725 '
the miserie; i deservd it; and would beare
my own deservings; but this will not serve;
