Farewell, happy fields,

Where joy forever dwells! Hail horrors; hail.

A mind not to be changed by place or time.
The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.

Heard so oft

In worst extremes, and on the perilous edge

Of battle.

At which the universal host up sent
A shout that tore hell's concave, and beyond
Frighted the reign of Chaos and old Night.

His form had yet not lost

All her original brightness, nor appeared
Less than arch-angel ruined, and th' excess
Of glory obscured.

On half the nations, and with fear of change
Perplexes monarchs.

By merit raised

To that bad eminence.

But all was false and hollow, though his tongue

Dropped manna; and could make the worse appear
The better reason, to perplex and dash

Maturest counsels.

Book ii. Line 300.

With grave

Aspéct he rose, and in his rising seemed
A pillar of state; deep on his front engraven
Deliberation sat and public care;

And princely counsel in his face yet shone,
Majestic though in ruin.

Book ii. Line 306.

With Atlantean shoulders, fit to bear

The weight of mightiest monarchies: his look
Drew audience and attention still as night

Or summer's noontide air.

Rocks, caves, lakes, fens, bogs, dens, and shades of death.

Confusion worse confounded.

Thus with the year

Seasons return, but not to me returns

Day, or the sweet approach of even or morn,
Or sight of vernal bloom, or summer's rose,
Or flocks, or herds, or human face divine.

Since called

The Paradise of Fools, to few unknown.

Hide their diminished heads.

And in the lowest deep, a lower deep,
Still threatening to devour me, opens wide,
To which the hell I suffer seems a heaven.

Farewell remorse; all good to me is lost:
Evil, be thou my good.

Deep malice to conceal.

Book iv. Line 297.

For contemplation he, and valor, formed,
For softness she, and sweet attractive grace.

Absolute rule; and hyacinthine locks
Round from his parted forelock manly hung
Clustering, but not beneath his shoulders broad.

His sons, the fairest of her daughters Eve.
