Asap
the passage below is the first of satan's speeches. it takes place immediately after he and his rebellious angels are cast out of heaven and he finds himself sitting in hell beside beelzebub, his number two.
from book i (lines 72-156)
in utter darkness, and their portion set
as far removed from god and light of heaven
as from the center thrice to the utmost pole.
oh how unlike the place from whence they fell!
there the companions of his fall, overwhelmed
with floods and whirlwinds of tempestuous fire,
he soon discerns, and weltering by his side
one next himself in power, and next in crime,
long after known in palestine, and named
beelzebub. to whom the arch-enemy,
and thence in heaven called satan, with bold words
breaking the horrid silence thus began.
if thou beest he; but oh how fallen! how changed
from him, who in the happy realms of light
clothed with transcendent brightness didst outshine
myriads though bright: if he whom mutual league,
united thoughts and counsels, equal hope
and hazard in the glorious enterprise,
joined with me once, now misery hath joined
in equal ruin: into what pit thou seest
from what heighth fallen, so much the stronger proved
he with his thunder: and till then who knew
the force of those dire arms? yet not for those,
nor what the potent victor in his rage
can else inflict, do i repent or change,
though changed in outward luster; that fixed mind
and high disdain, from sense of injured merit,
that with the mightiest raised me to contend,
and to the fierce contention brought along
innumerable force of spirits armed
that durst dislike his reign, and me preferring,
his utmost power with adverse power opposed
in dubious battle on the plains of heaven,
and shook his throne. what though the field be lost?
all is not lost; the unconquerable will,
and study of revenge, immortal hate,
and courage never to submit or yield:
and what is else not to be overcome?
that glory never shall his wrath or might
extort from me. to bow and sue for grace
with suppliant knee, and deify his power,
who from the terror of this arm so late
doubted his empire, that were low indeed,
that were an ignominy and shame beneath
this downfall; since by fate the strength of gods
and this empyreal substance cannot fail,
since through experience of this great event
in arms not worse, in foresight much advanced,
we may with more successful hope resolve
to wage by force or guile eternal war
irreconcilable, to our grand foe,
who now triumphs, and in the excess of joy
sole reigning holds the tyranny of heaven.
so spake the apostate angel, though in pain,
vaunting aloud, but racked with deep despair:
and him thus answered soon his bold compeer.
oh prince, oh chief of many throned powers,
that led the embattled seraphim to war
under thy conduct, and in dreadful deeds
fearless, endangered heaven’s perpetual king;
and put to proof his high supremacy,
whether upheld by strength, or chance, or fate,
too well i see and rue the dire event,
that with sad overthrow and foul defeat
hath lost us heaven, and all this mighty host
in horrible destruction laid thus low,
as far as gods and heavenly essences
can perish: for the mind and spirit remains
invincible, and vigor soon returns,
though all our glory extinct, and happy state
here swallowed up in endless misery.
but what if he our conqueror, (whom i now
of force believe almighty, since no less
then such could have overpowered such force as ours)
have left us this our spirit and strength entire
strongly to suffer and support our pains,
that we may so suffice his vengeful ire,
or do him mightier service as his thralls
by right of war, what e're his business be
here in the heart of hell to work in fire,
or do his errands in the gloomy deep;
what can it then avail though yet we feel
strength undiminished, or eternal being
to undergo eternal punishment?
whereto with speedy words the arch-fiend replied.
