Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost: BOOK ONE

• 01, 4-4
  Now to the ascent of that steep savage hill
  Satan hath journey'd on, pensive and slow.

• 01, 4-4
     Him the Almighty Power
  Hurled headlong flaming from the ethereal sky

• 01, 21-22
  Forthwith upright he rears from off the pool
  His mighty stature.

• 01, 33-2
  They heard and were abashed, and up they sprumg.

• 01, 34-95
  So numberless were those bad Angels seen
  Hovering on wing, under the cope of Hell.

• 01, 75-97
     Their summons called
  From every band and squared regiment
  By place or choice the worthiest.

Paradise Lost: BOOK TWO

• 02, 79-9
  High on a throne of royal state, which far
  Outshone the wealth of Ormus and of Ind.

• 02, 142-6
  Gorgons, and Hydras, and Chimeras dire.

• 02, 144-6
     Before the gates there sat
  On either side a formidable shape.

• 02, 174-5
  With head, hands, wings, or feet, pursues his way
  And swims, or sinks, or wades, or creeps, or flies.

Paradise Lost: BOOK THREE

• 03, 219-7
     Heaven rung
  With jubilee, and loud hosannas filled
  The eternal regions.

• 03, 232-3
     And many more too long
  Embryos, and idiots, eremites, and friars.

• 03, 258-9
     Towards the coast of Earth beneath,
  Down from the ecliptic, sped with hoped success,
  Throws his steep flight in many an aery wheel.

Paradise Lost: BOOK FOUR

• 04, 266-6
  Me miserable! which way shall I fly
  Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?

• 04, 292-5
  The savoury pulp they chew, and in the find,
  Still as they thirsted, scoop the brimming stream.

• 04, 283-7
  A happy rural seat of various view.

• 04, 317-8
  So promised he; and Uriel to his charge
  Returned.

• 04, 338-7
     These to the bower direct
  In search of whom they sought.

• 04, 360-3
     Nor more; but fled
  Murmuring, and with him fled the shades of night,

Paradise Lost: BOOK FIVE

• 05, 361-6
  Leaning, half-raised, with looks of cordial love
  Hung over her enamoured.

• 05, 391-3
  Eastward among those trees, what glorious shape
  Comes this way moving?

• 05, 406-1
     To whom the winged Hierarch replied:
  O Adam, one Almighty is, from whom
  All things proceed.

Paradise Lost: BOOK SIX

• 06, 468-9
  This greeting on thy impious crest receive.

• 06, 470-8
     Now storming fury rose,
  And clamour, such as heard in heaven till now
  Was never.

• 06, 482-8
     Then Satan first knew pain
  And writhed him to and fro.

• 06, 490-7
  Now Night her course began.

• 06, 491-1
     On the foughten field
  Michael and his angels, prevalent
  Encamping, placed in guard their watches round.

• 06, 537-3
  Nine days they fell.

• 06, 537-6
     Hell at last
  Yawning, received them whole.

Paradise Lost: BOOK SEVEN

• 07, 571-2
  Wave rolling after wave, where way they found;
  If steep, with torrent rapture.

• 07, 580
  And God said: Let the waters generate
  Reptile with spawn abundant, living soul
  And let fowl fly above the earth.

• 07, 582-8
  And seems a moving land; and at his gills
  Draws in, and at his trunk spouts out, a sea.

• 07, 583
  Meanwhile the tepid caves, and fens, and shores,
  Their brood as numerous hatch.

• 07, 599-5
     And now on earth the seventh
  Evening arose in Eden.

Paradise Lost: BOOK EIGHT

• 08, 669-4
  So parted they; the Angel up to heaven
  From the thick shade, and Adam to his bower.

Paradise Lost: BOOK NINE

• 09, 677
  In with the river sunk, and with it rose,
  Satan.

• 09, 679-6
  O Earth, how like to Heaven, if not preferred
  More justly.

• 09, 687-8
     Him fast sleeping, soon he found,
  In labyrinth of many a round, self-rolled.

• 09, 712-10
  Nearer he drew, and many a walk traversed
  Of stateliest covert, cedar, pine, or palm.

• 09, 748-1
     Back to the thicket slunk
  The guilty serpent.

• 09, 781-6
     Nor only tears
  Rained at their eyes, but high winds worse within
  Began to rise.

Paradise Lost: BOOK TEN

• 10, 798-4
     They heard
  And from his presence hid themselves among
  The thickest trees.

• 10, 832-4
     And now expecting
  Each hour their great adventurer, from the search
  Of foreign worlds.

• 10, 840-6
     Dreadful was the din
  Of hissing through the hall, thick swarming now
  With complicated monsters, head and tail.

• 10, 849-5
     This said, they both betook them several ways.

• 11, 919-7
     The heavenly hands
  Down from a sky of jasper lighted now
  In Paradise.

• 11, 970-7
     Began to build a vessel of huge bulk.

• 11, 972-6
     All dwellings else
  Flood overwhelmed, and them with all their pomp,
  Deep under water rolled.

• 12, 1011-4
     They beseech
  That Moses might report to them his will,
  And terror cease.

• 12, 1052-55
  Some natural tears they dropped, but wiped them soon.
