High on a throne of royal state, which far
Outshone the gorgeous feast with richest hand

Shows on her king's barbaric pearl and God
Satan exalted sat, by merit rais'd to that

Bad eminence and from despair thus high uplifted
Beyond hope, aspires beyond thus high, insatiate to
Pursue vain war with Heav'n, and by success untaught
His proud imaginations thus displayed, powers and dominious deities

Of Heav'n, for since no deep
Within her gulf can hold immortal
Vigor, though oppressed and fallen, I give
Not Heav'n for lost, from this descent

Celestial virtues rising, will appear
More glorious and more dread then from no fall
