Paradise Lost Ⅲ15
小说
he drew not nigh unheard； the angel bright； ＇ 645 ＇
ere he drew nigh； his radiant visage turnd；
admonisht by his ear； and strait was known
th arch…angel uriel； one of the seavn
who in gods presence； neerest to his throne
stand ready at mand； and are his eyes ＇ 650 ＇
that run through all the heavns； or down to th earth
bear his swift errands over moist and dry；
ore sea and land； him satan thus accostes；
uriel； for thou of those seavn spirits that stand
in sight of gods high throne； gloriously bright； ＇ 655 ＇
the first art wont his great authentic will
interpreter through highest heavn to bring；
where all his sons thy embassie attend；
and here art likeliest by supream decree
like honor to obtain； and as his eye ＇ 660 ＇
to visit oft this new creation round；
unspeakable desire to see； and know
all these his wondrous works； but chiefly man；
his chief delight and favour； him for whom
all these his works so wondrous he ordaind； ＇ 665 ＇
hath brought me from the quires of cherubim
alone thus wandring。 brightest seraph tell
in which of all these shining orbes hath man
his fixed seat； or fixed seat hath none；
but all these shining orbes his choice to dwell； ＇ 670 ＇
that i may find him； and with secret gaze；
or open admiration him behold
on whom the great creator hath bestowd
worlds； and on whom hath all these graces powrd；
that both in him and all things； as is meet； ＇ 675 ＇
the universal maker we may praise；
who justly hath drivn out his rebell foes
to deepest hell； and to repair that loss
created this new happie race of men
to serve him better： wise are all his wayes。 ＇ 680 ＇
so spake the false dissembler unperceivd；
for neither man nor angel can discern
hypocrisie； the onely evil that walks
invisible； except to god alone；
by his permissive will； through heavn and earth： ＇ 685 ＇
and oft though wisdom wake； suspicion sleeps
at wisdoms gate； and to simplicitie
resigns her charge； while goodness thinks no ill
where no ill seems： which now for once beguild
uriel； though regent of the sun； and held ＇ 690 ＇
the sharpest sighted spirit of all in heavn；
who to the fraudulent impostor foule
in his uprightness answer thus returnd。

faire angel； thy desire which tends to know
the works of god； thereby to glorifie ＇ 695 ＇
the great work…maister； leads to no excess
that reaches blame； but rather merits praise
the more it seems excess； that led thee hither
from thy empyreal mansion thus alone；
to witness with thine eyes what some perhaps ＇ 700 ＇
contented with report hear onely in heavn：
for wonderful indeed are all his works；
pleasant to know； and worthiest to be all
had in remembrance alwayes with delight；
but what created mind can prehend ＇ 705 ＇
thir number； or the wisdom infinite
that brought them forth； but hid thir causes deep。
i saw when at his word the formless mass；
this worlds material mould； came to a heap：
confusion heard his voice； and wilde uproar ＇ 710 ＇
stood ruld； stood vast infinitude confind；
till at his second bidding darkness fled；
light shon； and order from disorder sprung：
swift to thir several quarters hasted then
the cumbrous elements； earth； flood； aire； fire； ＇ 715 ＇
and this ethereal quintessence of heavn
flew upward； spirited with various forms；
that rowld orbicular； and turnd to starrs
numberless； as thou seest； and how they move；
each had his place appointed； each his course； ＇ 720 ＇
the rest in circuit walles this universe。
look downward on that globe whose hither side
with light from hence； though but reflected； shines；
that place is earth the seat of man； that light
his day； which else as th other hemisphere ＇ 725 ＇
night would invade； but there the neighbouring moon
（so call that opposite fair starr） her aide
timely interposes； and her monthly round
still ending； still renewing through mid heavn；
with borrowd light her countenance triform ＇ 730 ＇
hence fills and empties to enlighten th earth；
and in her pale dominion checks the night。
that spot to which i point is paradise；
adams abode； those loftie shades his bowre。
thy way thou canst not miss； me mine requires。 ＇ 735 ＇
thus said； he turnd； and satan bowing low；
as to superior spirits is wont in heaven；
where honour due and reverence none neglects；
took leave； and toward the coast of earth beneath；
down from th ecliptic； sped with hopd success； ＇ 740 ＇
throws his steep flight in many an aerie wheele；
nor staid； till on niphates top he lights。
the end of the third book。
