|
Into Bottomless Perdition |
|
|
|
He of the first, if not the first archangel, |
|
Great in power, favour and preeminence, |
|
He resolv'd with all his legions to dislodge |
|
And leave unworshipt the Throne Supreme. |
|
With ambitious aim they gather |
|
On the Mountain of Congregation, |
|
And, against the throne and monarchy of God, |
|
Raised impious war in Heaven. |
|
Him the Almighty Power |
|
Hurl'd headlong flaming from the ethereal sky, |
|
Down to bottomless perdition. |
|
He with horrid crew, |
|
Lay vanquished rolling in the fiery gulf, |
|
|
|
Confounded though immortal. |
|
Confounded though immortal. |
|
Confounded though immortal. |
