Yet not for those, Nor what the potent Victor in his rage 95 Can else inflict, do I repent, or change, Though changed in outward lustre, that fixed mind, And high disdain from sense of injured merit, That with the Mightiest raised me to contend, And to the fierce contentions brought along 100 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? 105 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? 10 Beelzebub - [bi "El zI Æbøb] 11 Myriads - ["mI ®i Æ´dz] 4 That glory never shall his wrath or might 110 Extort from me. To bow and sue for grace With suppliant knee, and deify12 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 115 This downfall; since, by fate, the strength of Gods And this empyreal13 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 120 To wage by force or guile eternal war, Irreconcilable to our grand Foe, Who now triumphs, and in th' excess of joy Sole reigning holds the tyranny of Heaven."
