Nor was his name unheard or unadord
In ancient Greece; and in Ausonian land
Men calld him Mulciber; and how he fell [ 740 ]
From hrown by angry Jove
Sal Battlements: from Morn
to Noon o dewy Eve,
A Summers day; and ting Sun
Dropt from tar, [ 745 ]
On Lemnos te,
Erring; for
Fell long before; nor aught availd him now
to in owrs; nor did he scape
By all was [ 750 ]
itrious creo build in hell.
Mean whe winged haralds by command
Of Sovran poh awful Ceremony
And trumpets sound t t proclaim
A solemn Councel forto be held [ 755 ]
At Pand?monium, tal
Of Satan and hir summons calld
From every Band and squared Regiment
By place or c; they anon
itrooping came [ 760 ]
Attended: all access es
And Porc che spacious hall
(though like a coverd field, where Champions bold
ont ride in armd, and at the Soldans chair
Defid t of Paynim chivalry [ 765 ]
to mortal combat or carreer h Lance)
the air,
Brushe hiss of russling wings. As Bees
In spring time, waurus rides,
Pour fort the hive [ 770 ]
In clusters; they among fresh dews and flowers
Flie to and fro, or on thed Plank,
tra Cittadel,
Neiate and confer
tate affairs. So the aerie crowd [ 775 ]
Sraitnd; till the Signal givn.
