purest at first; now gross by sinning grown。
the rest in imitation to like armes
betook them; and the neighbouring hills uptore;
so hills amid the air encounterd hills
hurld to and fro with jaculation dire; ' 665 '
that under ground; they fought in dismal shade;
infernal noise; warr seemd a civil game
to this uproar; horrid confusion heapt
upon confusion rose: and now all heavn
had gone to wrack; with ruin overspred; ' 670 '
had not th almightie father where he sits
shrind in his sanctuarie of heavn secure;
consulting on the sum of things; foreseen
this tumult; and permitted all; advisd:
that his great purpose he might so fulfill; ' 675 '
to honour his anointed son avengd
upon his enemies; and to declare
all power on him transferrd: whence to his son
th assessor of his throne he thus began。

;
effulgence of my glorie; son belovd; ' 680 '
son in whose face invisible is beheld
visibly; what by deitie i am;
and in whose hand what by decree i doe;
second omnipotence; two dayes are past;
two dayes; as we pute the dayes of heavn; ' 685 '
since michael and his powers went forth to tame
these disobedient; sore hath been thir fight;
as likeliest was; when two such foes met armd;
for to themselves i left them; and thou knowst;
equal in thir creation they were formd; ' 690 '
save what sin hath impaird; which yet hath wrought
insensibly; for i suspend thir doom;
whence in perpetual fight they needs must last
endless; and no solution will be found:
warr wearied hath performd what warr can do; ' 695 '
and to disorderd rage let loose the reines;
with mountains as with weapons armd; which makes
wild work in heavn; and dangerous to the maine。
two dayes are therefore past; the third is thine;
for thee i have ordaind it; and thus farr ' 700 '
have sufferd; that the glorie may be thine
of ending this great warr; since none but thou
can end it。 into thee such vertue and grace
immense i have transfusd; that all may know
in heavn and hell thy power above pare; ' 705 '
and this perverse motion governd thus;
to manifest thee worthiest to be heir
of all things; to be heir and to be king
by sacred unction; thy deserved right。
go then thou mightiest in thy fathers might; ' 710 '
ascend my chariot; guide the rapid wheeles
that shake heavns basis; bring forth all my warr;
my bow and thunder; my almightie arms
gird on; and sword upon thy puissant thigh;
pursue these sons of darkness; drive them out ' 715 '
from all heavns bounds into the utter deep:
there let them learn; as likes them; to despise
god and messiah his anointed king。

he said; and on his son with rayes direct
shon full; he all his father full exprest ' 720 '
ineffably into his face receivd;
and thus the filial godhead answering spake。
o father; o supream of heavnly thrones;
first; highest; holiest; best; thou alwayes seekst
to glorifie thy son; i alwayes thee; ' 725 '
as is most just; this i my glorie account;
my exaltation; and my whole delight;
that thou in me well pleasd; declarst thy will
fulfilld; which to fulfil is all my bliss。
scepter and power; thy giving; i assume; ' 730 '
and gladlier shall resign; when in the end
thou shalt be all in all; and i in thee
for ever; and in mee all whom thou lovst:
but whom thou hatst; i hate; and can put on
thy terrors; as i put thy mildness on; ' 735 '
image of thee in all things; and shall soon;
armd with thy might; rid heavn of these rebelld;
to thir prepard ill mansion driven down
to chains of darkness; and th undying worm;
that from thy just obedience could revolt; ' 740 '
whom to obey is happiness entire。
then shall thy saints unmixt; and from th impure
farr separate; circling thy holy mount
unfeigned halleluiahs to thee sing;
hymns of high praise; and i among them chief。 ' 745 '
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;
