CREATION

MILTON.

THE Son

On His great expedition'now appear'd,
Girt with omnipotence, with“ radiance crown'd
Of majesty divine; sapience and love
Immense, and all The Father in Him shone.
About His chariot numberless were pour'd
Cherub and Seraph, Potentates and Thrones,
And Virtues, winged Spirits, and chariots wing'd
From th' armoury of God, where stood of old
Myriads between two brazen mountains lodg'd
Against a solemn day, harness'd at band,
