so said; he ore his scepter bowing; rose
from the right hand of glorie where he sate;
and the third sacred morn began to shine
dawning through heavn: forth rushd with whirl…wind sound
the chariot of paternal deitie; ' 750 '
flashing thick flames; wheele within wheele; undrawn;
it self instinct with spirit; but convoyd
by four cherubic shapes; four faces each
had wondrous; as with starrs thir bodies all
and wings were set with eyes; with eyes the wheels ' 755 '
of beril; and careering fires between;
over thir heads a chrystal firmament;
whereon a saphir throne; inlaid with pure
amber; and colours of the showrie arch。
hee in celestial panoplie all armd ' 760 '
of radiant urim; work divinely wrought;
ascended; at his right hand victorie
sate eagle…wingd; beside him hung his bow
and quiver with three…bolted thunder stord;
and from about him fierce effusion rowld ' 765 '
of smoak and bickering flame; and sparkles dire;
attended with ten thousand thousand saints;
he onward came; farr off his ing shon;
and twentie thousand (i thir number heard)
chariots of god; half on each hand were seen: ' 770 '
hee on the wings of cherub rode sublime
on the chrystallin skie; in saphir thrond。

illustrious farr and wide; but by his own
first seen; them unexpected joy surprizd;
when the great ensign of messiah blazd ' 775 '
aloft by angels born; his sign in heavn:
under whose conduct michael soon reducd
his armie; circumfusd on either wing;
under thir head imbodied all in one。
before him power divine his way prepard; ' 780 '
at his mand the uprooted hills retird
each to his place; they heard his voice and went
obsequious; heavn his wonted face renewd;
and with fresh flourets hill and valley smild。
this saw his hapless foes but stood obdurd; ' 785 '
and to rebellious fight rallied thir powers
insensate; hope conceiving from despair。
in heavnly spirits could such perverseness dwell?
but to convince the proud what signs availe;
or wonders move th obdurate to relent? ' 790 '
they hardnd more by what might most reclame;
grieving to see his glorie; at the sight
took envie; and aspiring to his highth;
stood reimbattelld fierce; by force or fraud
weening to prosper; and at length prevaile ' 795 '
against god and messiah; or to fall
in universal ruin last; and now
to final battel drew; disdaining flight;
or faint retreat; when the great son of god
to all his host on either hand thus spake。 ' 800 '
stand still in bright array ye saints; here stand
ye angels armd; this day from battel rest;
faithful hath been your warfare; and of god
accepted; fearless in his righteous cause;
and as ye have receivd; so have ye don ' 805 '
invincibly; but of this cursed crew
the punishment to other hand belongs;
vengeance is his; or whose he sole appoints;
number to this dayes work is not ordaind
nor multitude; stand onely and behold ' 810 '
gods indignation on these godless pourd
by mee; not you but mee they have despisd;
yet envied; against mee is all thir rage;
because the father; t whom in heavn supream
kingdom and power and glorie appertains; ' 815 '
hath honourd me according to his will。

therefore to mee thir doom he hath assignd;
that they may have thir wish; to trie with mee
in battel which the stronger proves; they all;
or i alone against them; since by strength ' 820 '
they measure all; of other excellence
not emulous; nor care who them excells;
nor other strife with them do i voutsafe。
so spake the son; and into terrour changd
his countnance too severe to be beheld ' 825 '
and full of wrauth bent on his enemies。
at once the four spred out thir starrie wings
with dreadful shade contiguous; and the orbes
of his fierce chariot rowld; as with the sound
of torrent floods; or of a numerous host。 ' 830 '
hee on his impious foes right onward drove;
gloomie as night; under his burning wheeles
the stedfast empyrean shook throughout;
all but the throne it self of god。 full soon
among them he arrivd; in his right hand ' 835 '
grasping ten thousand thunders; which he sent
before him; such as in thir soules infixd
plagues; they astonisht all resistance lost;
all courage; down thir idle weapons dropd;
ore shields and helmes; and helmed heads he rode ' 840 '
of thrones and mighty seraphim prostrate;
that wisht the mountains now might be again
thrown on them as a shelter from his ire。
nor less on either side tempestuous fell
his arrows; from the fourfold…visagd foure; ' 845 '
distinct with eyes; and from the living wheels;
distinct alike with multitude of eyes;
one spirit in them ruld; and every eye
glard lightning; and shot forth pernicious fire
among th accurst; that witherd all thir strength; ' 850 '
and of thir wonted vigour left them draind;
exhausted; spiritless; afflicted; falln。

yet half his strength he put not forth; but checkd
his thunder in mid volie; for he meant
not to destroy; but root them out of heavn: ' 855 '
the overthrown he raisd; and as a heard
of goats or timerous flock together throngd
drove them before him thunder…struck; pursud
with terrors and with furies to the bounds
and chrystal wall of heavn; which opning wide; ' 860 '
rowld inward; and a spacious gap disclosd
into the wastful deep; the monstrous sight
strook them with horror backward; but far worse
urgd them behind; headlong themselves they threw
down from the verge of heavn; eternal wrauth ' 865 '
burnt after them to the bottomless pit。
hell heard th unsufferable noise; hell saw
heavn ruining from heavn and would have fled
affrighted; but strict fate had cast too deep
her dark foundations; and too fast had bound。 ' 870 '
nine dayes they fell; confounded chaos roard;
and felt tenfold confusion in thir fall
through his wilde anarchie; so huge a rout
incumberd him with ruin: hell at last
