our happie state under one head more neer ' 830 '
united。 but to grant it thee unjust;
that equal over equals monarch reigne:
thy self though great and glorious dost thou count;
or all angelic nature joind in one;
equal to him begotten son; by whom ' 835 '
as by his word the mighty father made
all things; evn thee; and all the spirits of heavn
by him created in thir bright degrees;
crownd them with glory; and to thir glory namd
thrones; dominations; princedoms; vertues; powers; ' 840 '
essential powers; nor by his reign obscurd;
but more illustrious made; since he the head
one of our number thus reduct bees;
his laws our laws; all honour to him done
returns our own。 cease then this impious rage; ' 845 '
and tempt not these; but hastn to appease
th incensed father; and th incensed son;
while pardon may be found in time besought。

Paradise Lost Ⅴ19
<小>说?网
so spake the fervent angel; but his zeale
none seconded; as out of season judgd; ' 850 '
or singular and rash; whereat rejoicd
th apostat; and more haughty thus replid。
that we were formd then saist thou? and the work
of secondarie hands; by task transferd
from father to his son? strange point and new! ' 855 '
doctrin which we would know whence learnt: who saw
when this creation was? rememberst thou
thy making; while the maker gave thee being?
we know no time when we were not as now;
know none before us; self…begot; self…raisd ' 860 '
by our own quickning power; when fatal course
had circld his full orbe; the birth mature
of this our native heavn; ethereal sons。
our puissance is our own; our own right hand
shall teach us highest deeds; by proof to try ' 865 '
who is our equal: then thou shalt behold
whether by supplication we intend
address; and to begirt th almighty throne
beseeching or besieging。 this report;
these tidings carrie to th anointed king; ' 870 '
and fly; ere evil intercept thy flight。
he said; and as the sound of waters deep
hoarce murmur echod to his words applause
through the infinite host; nor less for that
the flaming seraph fearless; though alone ' 875 '
enpassd round with foes; thus answerd bold。
o alienate from god; o spirit accurst;
forsakn of all good; i see thy fall
determind; and thy hapless crew involvd
in this perfidious fraud; contagion spred ' 880 '
both of thy crime and punishment: henceforth
no more be troubld how to quit the yoke
of gods messiah; those indulgent laws
will not now be voutsaft; other decrees
against thee are gon forth without recall; ' 885 '
that golden scepter which thou didst reject
is now an iron rod to bruise and breake
thy disobedience。 well thou didst advise;
yet not for thy advise or threats i fly
these wicked tents devoted; least the wrauth ' 890 '
impendent; raging into sudden flame
distinguish not: for soon expect to feel
his thunder on thy head; devouring fire。
then who created thee lamenting learne;
when who can uncreate thee thou shalt know。 ' 895 '
so spake the seraph abdiel faithful found;
among the faithless; faithful only hee;
among innumerable false; unmovd;
unshakn; unseducd; unterrifid
his loyaltie he kept; his love; his zeale; ' 900 '
nor number; nor example with him wrought
to swerve from truth; or change his constant mind
though single。 from amidst them forth he passd;
long way through hostile scorn; which he susteind
superior; nor of violence feard aught; ' 905 '
and with retorted scorn his back he turnd
on those proud towrs to swift destruction doomd。
