Admird, not feard; God and ,
Created t valud he nor shund
And began. [ 680 ]

Retire, or taste thy folly, and learn by proof,
to contend s of heavn.
to wh replyd,
Art t traitor Angel, art thou hee,

Conjurd against t, for whou
And tcast from God, are here condemnd
to e Eternal dayes in woe and pain? [ 695 ]
And recknst ts of heavn,

So speaking and so tning, greenfold [ 705 ]
More dreadful and deform: on ther side

In tick Sky, and from his horrid hair [ 710 ]
Silence and arr. Eac the head
Leveld all hands
No second stroke intend, and such a frown
Eac at two black Clouds

O Fat intends thy hand, she cryd,
Against t fury O Son,
Possesses to bend t mortal Dart
Against t for whom; [ 730 ]
For s above and laughe while
