'But cloud, instead, and ever during dark
Surround me, from the cheerful ways of men

Till pride and worse ambition threw me down,

Warring in heaven against heaven's matchless king.—

Remorse.

The easiest recompense, and pay him thanks
How due!-

And wrought but malice; lifted up so high,

I 'sdained subjection, and thought one step higher
Would set me highest, and in a moment quit

So burdensome, still paying, still to owe:
Forgetful what from him I still received;

And understood not that a grateful mind
By owing owes not, but still pays, at once
Indebted and discharged.—What burden then?

'But say I could repent, and could obtain

By act of grace my former state; how soon

Would height recall high thoughts, how soon unsay
What feigned submission swore! Ease would recant
Vows made in pain, as violent and void.

For never can true reconcilement grow

Where wounds of deadly hate have pierced so deep;
Which would but lead me to a worse relapse
And heavier fall; so should I purchase dear
Short intermission bought with double smart.
This knows my Punisher; therefore as far
From granting he as I from begging peace.
