t in darkness here
Hatching vain Empires. Thus BEELZEBUB
Pleaded his devilish Counselfirst devis’d
By SATANand in part propos’d: for whence
But from the Author of all ill could Spring
So deep a maliceto confound the race
Of mankind in one rootand Earth with Hell
To mingle and involvedone all to spite
The great Creatour? But thir spite still serves
His glory to augment. The bold design
Pleas’d highly those infernal Statesand joy
Sparkl’d in all thir eyes; with full assent
They vote: whereat his speech he thus renews.
Well have ye judg’dwell ended long debate
Synod of Godsand like to what ye are
Great things resolv’d; which from the lowest deep
Will once more lift us upin spight of Fate
Neerer our ancient Seat; perhaps in view
Of those bright confineswhence with neighbouring Arms
And opportune excursion we may chance
Paradise Lost - Milton
27
Re-enter Heav’n; or else in some milde Zone
Dwell not unvisited of Heav’ns fair Light
Secureand at the brightning Orient beam
Purge off this gloom; the soft delicious Air
To heal the scarr of these corrosive Fires
Shall breath her balme. But first whom shall we send
In search of this new worldwhom shall we find
