To wreck on innocent frail man his loss. Of that first Battel, and his flight to Hell: Yet not rejoycing in his speed, though bold, Far off and fearless, nor with cause to boast, Begins his dire attempt, which nigh the birth. Now rowling, boiles in his tumultuous brest, And like a devillish Engine back recoiles.
By John Milton. HIgh on a Throne of Royal State, which far. Outshon the wealth of Ormus and of Ind, Or where the gorgeous East with richest hand. Showrs on her Kings Barbaric Pearl and Gold, Satan exalted sat, by merit rais'd. To that bad eminence; and from despair.
“Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heav’n” becomes something like his life motto, as he steadfastly refuses to accept God’s rulership, and struggles against his creator in whatever way he can.
