עמוד 5 - 20 Dove-like, sat'st brooding on the vast Abyss, And mad'st it pregnant : what in me is dark, Illumine ; what is low, raise and support; That to the highth of this great argument I may assert Eternal Providence, 25 And justify the ways of God to men. Say first—for Heaven hides nothing from thy view,
עמוד 64 - either—black it stood as Night, 670 Fierce as ten Furies, terrible as Hell, And shook a dreadful dart; what seemed his head The likeness of a kingly crown had on. Satan was now at hand, and from his seat The monster moving onward came as fast 675 With horrid strides; Hell trembled as he strode.
עמוד 87 - Me miserable ! which way shall I fly Infinite wrath and infinite despair ? Which way I fly is Hell ; myself am Hell ; And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep Still threatening to devour me opens wide, To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.
עמוד 34 - Ransacked the centre, and with impious hands Rifled the bowels of their mother earth For treasures better hid.

עמוד 26 - For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the first born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast : and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment : 1 am the Lord.
עמוד xxxiii - The divine property of her first being. Such are those thick and gloomy shadows damp Oft seen in charnel-vaults and sepulchres, Lingering and sitting by a new-made grave, As loth to leave the body that it loved, And linked itself by carnal sensuality To a degenerate and degraded state.
עמוד 73 - The guarded gold ; so eagerly the fiend O'er bog, or steep, through strait, rough, dense, or rare, With head, hands, wings, or feet, pursues his way, And swims, or sinks, or wades, or creeps, or flies. 950
