Pàgina 110 - Thyself how wondrous then ! Unspeakable ! who sitt'st above these heavens To us invisible, or dimly seen In these thy lowest works; yet these declare Thy goodness beyond thought, and power divine.

Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell; 75 And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep Still threat'ning to devour me opens wide, To which the Hell I suffer seems a...
Pàgina 82 - What feigned submission swore! Ease would recant Vows made in pain, as violent and void (For never can true reconcilement grow Where wounds of deadly hate have pierced so deep); Which would but lead me to a worse relapse And heavier fall : so should I purchase dear Short intermission, bought with double smart.
Pàgina 55 - Their lighter wings. To whom these most adhere He rules a moment ; Chaos umpire sits, And by decision more embroils the fray By which he reigns ; next him, high arbiter, Chance governs all.
