what wonder then if fields and region here
breathe forth elixir pure; and rivers run
potable gold; when with one vertuous touch
th arch…chimic sun so farr from us remote
produces with terrestrial humor mixt ' 610 '
here in the dark so many precious things
of colour glorious and effect so rare?
here matter new to gaze the devil met
undazld; farr and wide his eye mands;
for sight no obstacle found here; nor shade; ' 615 '
but all sun…shine; as when his beams at noon
culminate from th ?quator; as they now
shot upward still direct; whence no way round
shadow from body opaque can fall; and the aire;
no where so cleer; sharpnd his visual ray ' 620 '
to objects distant farr; whereby he soon
saw within kenn a glorious angel stand;
the same whom john saw also in the sun:
his back was turnd; but not his brightness hid;
of beaming sunnie raies; a golden tiar ' 625 '
circld his head; nor less his locks behind
illustrious on his shoulders fledge with wings
lay waving round; on som great charge imployd
he seemd; or fixt in cogitation deep。
glad was the spirit impure as now in hope ' 630 '
to find who might direct his wandring flight
to paradise the happie seat of man;
his journies end and our beginning woe。
but first he casts to change his proper shape;
which else might work him danger or delay: ' 635 '
and now a stripling cherube he appeers;
not of the prime; yet such as in his face
youth smild celestial; and to every limb
sutable grace diffusd; so well he feignd;
under a coronet his flowing haire ' 640 '
in curles on either cheek plaid; wings he wore
of many a colourd plume sprinkld with gold;
his habit fit for speed succinct; and held
before his decent steps a silver wand。

he drew not nigh unheard; the angel bright; ' 645 '
ere he drew nigh; his radiant visage turnd;
admonisht by his ear; and strait was known
th arch…angel uriel; one of the seavn
who in gods presence; neerest to his throne
stand ready at mand; and are his eyes ' 650 '
that run through all the heavns; or down to th earth
bear his swift errands over moist and dry;
ore sea and land; him satan thus accostes;
uriel; for thou of those seavn spirits that stand
in sight of gods high throne; gloriously bright; ' 655 '
the first art wont his great authentic will
interpreter through highest heavn to bring;
where all his sons thy embassie attend;
and here art likeliest by supream decree
like honor to obtain; and as his eye ' 660 '
to visit oft this new creation round;
unspeakable desire to see; and know
all these his wondrous works; but chiefly man;
his chief delight and favour; him for whom
all these his works so wondrous he ordaind; ' 665 '
hath brought me from the quires of cherubim
alone thus wandring。 brightest seraph tell
in which of all these shining orbes hath man
his fixed seat; or fixed seat hath none;
but all these shining orbes his choice to dwell; ' 670 '
that i may find him; and with secret gaze;
or open admiration him behold
on whom the great creator hath bestowd
worlds; and on whom hath all these graces powrd;
that both in him and all things; as is meet; ' 675 '
the universal maker we may praise;
who justly hath drivn out his rebell foes
to deepest hell; and to repair that loss
created this new happie race of men
to serve him better: wise are all his wayes。 ' 680 '
so spake the false dissembler unperceivd;
for neither man nor angel can discern
hypocrisie; the onely evil that walks
invisible; except to god alone;
by his permissive will; through heavn and earth: ' 685 '
and oft though wisdom wake; suspicion sleeps
at wisdoms gate; and to simplicitie
resigns her charge; while goodness thinks no ill
where no ill seems: which now for once beguild
uriel; though regent of the sun; and held ' 690 '
the sharpest sighted spirit of all in heavn;
who to the fraudulent impostor foule
in his uprightness answer thus returnd。

faire angel; thy desire which tends to know
the works of god; thereby to glorifie ' 695 '
the great work…maister; leads to no excess
that reaches blame; but rather merits praise
the more it seems excess; that led thee hither
from thy empyreal mansion thus alone;
to witness with thine eyes what some perhaps ' 700 '
contented with report hear onely in heavn:
for wonderful indeed are all his works;
pleasant to know; and worthiest to be all
had in remembrance alwayes with delight;
but what created mind can prehend ' 705 '
thir number; or the wisdom infinite
that brought them forth; but hid thir causes deep。
i saw when at his word the formless mass;
this worlds material mould; came to a heap:
confusion heard his voice; and wilde uproar ' 710 '
stood ruld; stood vast infinitude confind;
till at his second bidding darkness fled;
light shon; and order from disorder sprung:
swift to thir several quarters hasted then
the cumbrous elements; earth; flood; aire; fire; ' 715 '
and this ethereal quintessence of heavn
flew upward; spirited with various forms;
that rowld orbicular; and turnd to starrs
numberless; as thou seest; and how they move;
each had his place appointed; each his course; ' 720 '
the rest in circuit walles this universe。
look downward on that globe whose hither side
with light from hence; though but reflected; shines;
that place is earth the seat of man; that light
his day; which else as th other hemisphere ' 725 '
night would invade; but there the neighbouring moon
(so call that opposite fair starr) her aide
timely interposes; and her monthly round
still ending; still renewing through mid heavn;
with borrowd light her countenance triform ' 730 '
hence fills and empti
