:“...and now his heart / Distends with pride, and hardening in his strength / Glories: for never since created man, / Met such embodied force, as nam'd with these / Could merit more than that small infantry / Warr'd on by cranes: though all the giant brood / Of Phlegra with th' heroic race were join'd / That fought at Thebes and Ilium, on each side / Mix'd with auxiliar gods; and what resounds / In fable or romance of Uther's son / Begirt with British and Armoric knights; / And all who since, baptiz'd or infidel / Jousted in Aspramont or Montalban, / Damasco, or Marocco, or Trebisond, / Or whom Biserta sent from Afric shore / When Charlemain with all his peerage fell / By Fontarabbia. Thus far these beyond / Compare of mortal prowess, yet observ'd / Thir dread commander: he above the rest / In shape and gesture proudly eminent / Stood like a tower; his form had yet not lost / All her original brightness, nor appear'd / Less than archangel ruin'd, and th' excess / Of glory obscur'd: as when the sun new ris'n / Looks through the horizontal misty air / Shorn of his beams, or from behind the moon / In dim eclipse disastrous twilight sheds / On half the nations, and with fear of change / Perplexes monarchs. Darken'd so, yet shone / Above them all th' archangel: but his face / Deep scars of thunder had intrench'd, and care / Sat on his faded cheek, but under brows / Of dauntless courage, and considerate pride / Waiting revenge: cruel his eye, but cast / Signs of remorse and passion to behold / The fellows of his crime, the followers rather / (Far other once beheld in bliss), condemn'd / For ever now to have their lot in pain; / Millions of spirits for his fault amerc't / Of Heaven, and from eternal splendours flung / For his revolt, yet faithful how they stood, / Thir glory wither'd. As when heaven's fire / Hath scath'd the forest oaks or mountain pines, / With singed top their stately growth though bare / Stands on the blasted heath. He now prepar'd / To speak; whereat their doubl'd ranks they bend / From wing to wing, and half enclose him round / With all his peers: attention held them mute. / Thrice he assay'd, and thrice in spite of scorn, / Tears such as angels weep, burst forth: at last / Words interwove with sighs found out their way.” (Book I, Lines 571-621)。虽然上下文复杂,但这里的 dispeople
